Chinese Stone Fountain Planter

Its twin looks tidier. This one looks like it has spent more time outdoors.

This fountain planter was carved in China in stone in the 20th century. Stone planters in this classical style are commonly used in gardens and entry courts, holding plants or occasionally water. The shallow bowl has a thick, scalloped rim and a leaf band around the belly, and it stands on a short pedestal wrapped in acanthus. The surface is a mottled grey-white, with softer edges and a rougher, more weathered look than a freshly cut stone, and a square plinth beneath.

About 21 inches tall and 20 across. A garden fixture that does not mind the rain.
