Description
Large vintage ceramic cylinder floor vase or umbrella stand featuring a Chinoiserie-inspired floral motif. The design includes a large central pink lotus blossom surrounded by teal green vine work and smaller pink floral accents. The top rim is finished with a geometric diamond band while the base features crown-style arch details. Perfect for entryways or as a statement floor piece.
Key Features
Substantial size and weight, desirable pastel/teal colorway for coastal or grandmillennial decor, dual-purpose functionality as a vase or umbrella holder.
Authenticity Indicators
Likely a mass-produced import piece for home decor retailers (like Pier 1 or HomeGoods-era predecessors). High confidence in utility status, not an antique. No visible maker's mark.
Flaws to Note
Potential internal mineral deposits if previously used for flowers; check the bottom for hairline cracks or unstable footing; missing original felt pads.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace or local pickup (to avoid high shipping costs/breakage risks). Etsy is also an option for vintage decor enthusiasts.
Selling Tips
Highlight 'Grandmillennial' and 'Chinoiserie' in the keywords. Take photos near a door or with umbrellas inside to show scale. Local pickup is highly recommended due to weight and fragility.
