Chinese Double Lotus Base

Two petal rings meet at a pinched waist, with a warm tan glow in every groove.

This double lotus base is from China. It is marble. A double lotus base is typically made of two rows of petals, one facing up and one down, forming a seat or stand for a figure. Smooth top surface over a wavy border, then rounded lobes, a ridged neck and a second ring. A lower band of crossing lines and scroll work at the base, with cream surface and ochre staining. It is 4 inches high and 5.5 in diameter.

Aged in all the right places, which is every place.
