Overview
A large vintage display stand for a fishbowl, jardiniere, planter or large vase. The round top has a raised molded rim and a ring-framed opening in the center. Five scrolled legs rise above the rim into short upright prongs that help hold a round-bottomed bowl in place, and a round ring stretcher joins the legs lower down. It has a glossy reddish-brown finish with visible grain. It would suit a floor, low table or entryway, raising a bowl or pot and giving it a finished look.
Background
Stands of this shape have long been used in China to display fishbowls, planters and large porcelain pieces, and vintage versions were widely exported for home decor. This stand is unmarked. It is solid and fairly heavy for its size. We have not tested whether it is solid wood or a wood composite under the finish.
Condition
Good vintage condition with no breaks. The finish is worn through on the tops of the prongs, and there are light scuffs and scratches on the top and along the rim. Please see all photos.
Dimensions & Weight
The stand is 11.0 inches across at its widest point (legs included) and 8.5 inches high. The top platform is 9.8 inches across. It weighs 3 lb 7.4 oz.
