Chinese Base with Triple Lotus Motif (X-Large)

Big, wide, and densely petaled, with a base that fans out like a skirt.

This extra-large base with triple lotus motif is from China. Mahogany is a dense hardwood that holds its shape well, which makes it suitable for larger carved stands that must carry a good deal of weight. Wide round stand, its top dish framed by closely packed pointed petals. Beneath, tiny beads encircle the neck and a broad, rounded base shows overlapping leaf shapes with a key border along the foot. It is 2.25 inches high and 4 in diameter.

A grand platform for something not nearly as grand.
