Description
Exquisite 1950s Chinese export ceramic pedestal table featuring intricate openwork decoration and a richly glazed emerald green finish accented with cobalt blue and cream details. Originally purchased in France in 1959, this sculptural piece showcases a refined hexagonal form with pierced panels and hand-finished relief decoration throughout.
The ceramic pedestal has been paired with a substantial custom 24-inch round glass top, transforming it into an elegant occasional table while allowing the artistry of the base to remain fully visible. The elevated glass creates a floating effect that highlights the architectural silhouette and intricate craftsmanship of the ceramic form.
Equally at home in Palm Beach, Hollywood Regency, Chinoiserie, Traditional, or Organic Modern interiors, this versatile piece functions beautifully as an end table, accent table, plant stand, or garden stool.
The vibrant emerald glaze exhibits the depth and variation associated with mid-century hand-finished ceramics, while the pierced construction creates visual interest from every angle.
Condition:
Alterations: Original Condition Unaltered
Imperfections: Some Imperfections
Condition Notes: Very good vintage condition. The ceramic pedestal displays beautifully with no obvious cracks or major restorations observed. Glaze variations, minor surface wear, and small manufacturing irregularities consistent with age and handcrafted production are present and contribute to its character. The custom glass top is substantial and presents well with light surface wear consistent with normal use. Overall, an attractive and well-preserved example.
