Chinese-Style Low-Profile Fishbowl Planter on Wrought Iron Stand

This decorative floral arrangement is housed in a low-profile, globular ceramic fishbowl planter with a dark green or black glazed ground. The planter features intricate polychrome enameling, notably showcasing vibrant orange and gold-tone koi fish or floral motifs, characteristic of high-end Chinoiserie. It is supported by a bespoke, four-legged wrought iron stand with scrolled feet and a circular ring support that elevates the vessel approximately 12 to 18 inches off the floor. The ceramic displays a high-gloss finish with no visible chips or significant crazing from this distance, while the iron stand exhibits a consistent dark patina. Inside the vessel is a dense, multi-species permanent botanical arrangement consisting of faux hydrangeas, eucalyptus sprigs, and assorted greenery in shades of olive, sage, and cream. The craftsmanship suggests a contemporary high-quality reproduction of traditional 19th-century Chinese 'Famille Noire' or 'Rose' porcelain styles. The overall composition stands roughly 3.5 to 4 feet tall and serves as a statement floor accent. No maker's marks are visible on the exterior, but the quality of the glaze and the weight-bearing capability of the custom ironwork indicate a premium interior design piece, likely dating from the late 20th or early 21st century.
