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 red 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. One leg has a crack that has been repaired, and the stand is stable. There are small worn spots on the leg tops and feet, and light scratches on the top. Please see all photos.
Dimensions & Weight
The stand is 12.8 inches across at its widest point (legs included) and 9.4 inches high. The top platform is 11.5 inches across. It weighs 4 lb 7 oz.
