Legend of Asia keeps this Busan umbrella vase entirely undecorated, letting a straight tapered column and a softly rolled rim carry the piece. The unbroken white vase glaze means it never competes with wallpaper, art or a patterned rug, so it works as easily in a modern hall as in a room full of chinoiserie decor. The tall vase holds long umbrellas and walking canes upright without tipping, and doubles as a floor vase for magnolia branches or pampas when the weather is clear. High fire porcelain, hand shaped and fired dense, makes this porcelain vase water proof and weather proof for covered outdoor use. As entryway decor beside a bench, foyer decor at the foot of a stair, or a calm note of asian decor, it earns its footprint as an umbrella stand.
