Legend of Asia turns a practical piece into a decorative one with this twisted lotus umbrella stand, where spiral ribs climb the full column and a carved lotus motif circles the rim. The blue white glaze gathers in the twists, so the porcelain stand has depth and movement even when it stands empty. It holds full length umbrellas upright without tipping, and the same proportion lets it serve as a floor vase for tall branches when the weather is dry. Hand shaped and fired at high heat, the body is dense, water proof and weather proof, so it handles wet days and covered outdoor use without staining. As entryway decor beside a bench, foyer decor next to a console, or a cane stand in a study, it brings genuine chinoiserie decor and asian decor to a hard working corner.
