Garden stool or ceramic elephant plant stand from the 1960s.

In this advertisement, you will find a large garden stool or a very decorative ceramic plant stand in the shape of an elephant made of blue and white ceramic. The saddle seat and a blanket on the elephant are glazed with celadon hues, bordered in cobalt blue and white; the assortment of delicate patterns — reflecting Chinese and Arab influences — suggests the romance of the Silk Road. The elephant stands patiently, taking a pause in its forward trot, with bright eyes, almost ready to launch. A perfect addition as a patio or garden stool that matches very well with all colours and styles. Made in Belgium in the 1960s. Very good vintage condition with some signs of age and use.
