PERIOD NOT ESTABLISHED AND NO DYNASTY IS CLAIMED. Decoration in this manner spans the late Qing through the twentieth century and later export production. The base has not been inspected and no reign mark has been read. Anyone buying on age should have it examined first.

As an object it is handsome and useful — a garden stool works as a side table, a plant stand or extra seating, and the figural panels reward a close look.
