Decorative Christmas-Themed Rolling Pin with Stand

This item is a decorative rolling pin, likely intended for display rather than heavy-duty baking, accompanied by a matching stand. The rolling pin features a light cream or ivory colored barrel, adorned with a festive Christmas-themed pattern. The design includes repeating motifs of red poinsettia-like flowers or starbursts, interspersed with green leafy vines and clusters of red berries. The pattern wraps around the entire barrel, with a more dense, green and red floral border visible at both ends of the barrel, near where the handles attach. The handles themselves are made of light-colored, possibly unstained or lightly varnished, wood, exhibiting a smooth, rounded, and ergonomic shape. The rolling pin appears to be in excellent condition, with no visible chips, cracks, or significant wear to the painted design or the wooden handles. The glossy finish on the barrel suggests it may be ceramic, porcelain, or a similar material, with the design likely applied underglaze or with a protective clear coat. The accompanying stand is a simple rectangular block, crafted from the same material and featuring a continuation of the red floral and green foliage pattern, specifically a central red flower. This stand serves to elevate and present the rolling pin when not in use. The overall aesthetic is festive and traditional, suggesting it is a seasonal decorative item, likely dating from the late 20th to early 21st century. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, with clear and vibrant colors in the hand-painted or decal-applied design.
