An Annamesse ceramic garden seat from the 19th century, with green glazed finish, hourglass silhouette and raised floral décor. Created in Annam, Vietnam during the 19th century, this ceramic garden stool, features a circular top presenting a 12.25 inches diameter with nicely weathered appearance, sitting above a tapering neck. The central protruding section is adorned with floral motifs. The bottom part is hexagonal and decorated with a similar décor. The entire stool is covered with a green glaze contrasted with black touches the more the eye goes down. Revealing the long Vietnamese ceramic tradition, particularly in the Annam province, an area heavily influenced - and once ruled by - China, this hour-glass shaped garden seat with verde patina and floral décor from the 19th century will make for a great addition to any home, perhaps placed in a garden or a patio where it could also be used as a drinks table.
