Provencal Ceramic Umbrella Stand - 1980s - 17¾"

This charming ceramic umbrella stand, crafted in the 1980s by a talented potter from Goult, captures the rustic beauty of Provence. The stand features a relief of a traditional stone shelter, known locally as a "borie," which is commonly found in the vineyards and countryside of Provence. These stone huts were used by shepherds and vineyard workers as temporary shelters from the elements. Each borie is unique, reflecting the local stones and craftsmanship of the region. This umbrella stand is not only functional but also a delightful homage to the rich cultural heritage of Provence, making it a unique and meaningful addition to any home.
