About

Crafted in China circa 1960, this vibrant fishbowl jardinière exemplifies the artistry of mid-20th century porcelain. The large hand-painted vessel features an exterior decorated in the Famille Rose palette, with finely detailed figural panels depicting courtly garden scenes framed by floral and foliate motifs on a deep cobalt ground. The interior is equally striking, adorned with orange koi fish swimming among aquatic plants, a traditional symbol of prosperity and abundance. The generous rounded form rests securely on a custom carved and stained hardwood stand with curving legs and circular stretcher, enhancing both presentation and stability. This indoor decor comes fitted with a faux tree, rooted in a real wood trunk, offering immediate decorative impact and height. In excellent condition commensurate with age and use, this decorative fishbowl makes a dramatic statement in any interior. It may serve as an ornamental planter, centerpiece, or accent in a foyer, living room, or sunroom, bringing a touch of exotic elegance and timeless craftsmanship. Dimensions: 23.5″ diameter x 31.5″ high (including stand); 94″ high including tree
