Handmade pique assiette (broken china mosaic) decorative vase/cylinder. Constructed from dozens of hand-cut shards of vintage and antique china — floral transferware, gilt-edged porcelain, hand-painted roses, and Asian-influenced patterns — set into a textured, gold-painted grout matrix. This folk-art mosaic technique (also known as trencadís) is prized by collectors for its one-of-a-kind, kaleidoscopic surface.This piece is open at both ends (no bottom), so while similar mosaic forms are sometimes used as umbrella stands, this one is best suited as a decorative floor vase, plant riser, or display cylinder rather than a functional umbrella/water-holding stand.Dimensions: 12\" tall x 6\" wide, 4\" diameter openingWeight: 11 lbs (solid and substantial — built on a heavy ceramic/plaster core)Vintage/handmade construction; interior shows the raw ceramic/plaster core. Some gold paint wear and grout imperfections consistent with age and handmade origin (see photos).A striking statement piece for eclectic, bohemian, or Gaudí-inspired décor.
