Small Chinoiserie Blue and White Ceramic Elephant Garden Plant Stand

This vintage white ceramic elephant stool is a timeless accent piece that blends sculptural charm with rich cultural symbolism. Modeled after traditional Chinese elephant garden stools, this piece features intricate relief detailing—from the lotus flowers to the longevity symbol on the saddle blanket—highlighting themes of prosperity, wisdom, and protection. Finished in a creamy off-white glaze with soft caramel outlining, this versatile ceramic elephant functions beautifully as a garden stool, plant stand, or side table. Its compact footprint and flat top surface make it ideal for use indoors or outdoors, adding visual interest to a reading nook, patio lounge, or bedroom corner. In Chinese tradition, elephants are considered auspicious symbols of strength, luck, and spiritual well-being. This piece draws inspiration from Qing Dynasty-style garden seats, popularized in the West in the mid-20th century during the rise of Hollywood Regency and Chinoiserie revival decor. Features: Glazed ceramic with incised Asian motifs Gently aged patina consistent with vintage pieces Functional as a stool, table, or plant stand Flat top surface supports books, drinks, or decor Estimated date: 1960s–1980s Excellent vintage condition with minimal wear Styling Ideas: Use this charming ceramic elephant as a whimsical nightstand...
