Overview
A vintage carved wood display stand for a vase, bowl or ginger jar. The round top has a stepped rim with a recessed center and a small hole in the middle. Below it, the apron is pierced all the way around with cloud-like scrolls. Four curved legs end in scrolled feet, and a round ring stretcher joins them near the base. The wood has a warm reddish-brown finish. It would suit a shelf, cabinet or mantel, raising a small piece and giving it a finished look.
Background
Carved wooden stands like this were made in large numbers in China and Hong Kong through the mid and late 20th century, to display vases, bowls and other small pieces. This stand is unmarked. It is made in several joined parts and is light in weight.
Condition
Good vintage condition. There is wear to the finish, with lighter and reddish patches on the apron and legs, and small nicks along the top rim. Please see all photos.
Dimensions & Weight
The stand is 5.4 inches wide and 3.6 inches high (W x H). The top measures 4.5 inches across the outer rim and 4.0 inches across the inner recess, so it suits a piece with a base up to about 4 inches. It weighs 7.2 oz.
