Description:

These decorative pieces are typically crafted from ceramic and feature a realistic depiction of an elephant,with many details and colorful glazes.

Elephant garden stools have a long history in China,dating back to the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD).They were originally used as functional pieces of furniture,providing a place to rest one's feet or display potted plants.However,over time,they evolved into decorative objects,often symbolizing good luck,prosperity,and longevity.

The elephant,in particular,is a revered animal in Chinese culture,representing wisdom,power,and strength.It is often depicted in art and literature as a symbol of the Buddha or a guardian deity.

The elephant garden stools showcase the craftsmanship and artistic skill that characterized Chinese porcelain production during the Ming and Qing dynasties (1368-1644,1644-1911).The detailed carvings,the vibrant colors,and the overall quality of the porcelain suggest that these stools were likely created for wealthy or aristocratic families.
