Elephant plant holder stool

This magnificent ceramic elephant will not go unnoticed, it could even become the centerpiece of your decoration in the living room, bedroom or veranda. It is large and sturdy enough to serve as an end table, a bedside table, a plant holder or even an extra seat. Its colors are very beautiful, still very vivid and particularly the midnight blue of the elephant' s body (midnight blue, off-white, caramel and gray blue). He has his trunk pointing upwards, which would be a symbol of luck. It seems to have a hollow signature under its base, but I can' t decipher it. It would be of french artisanal manufacture, without certainty however, in the 60s or 70s. It is in very good condition, which is quite rare for these ceramics: no cracks, no chips, not even a chip, perhaps just some damage. Very small and slight abrasions which are probably slight losses of original enamelling. I cleaned it carefully, with a brush in all the small reliefs (furrows demarcating different colors, dug with a knife by the ceramist), but there remains a coloring at the bottom of these reliefs which testify to the passage of time. It measures 42 cm in height, 55 cm in length (from the hind legs to the trunk) and approximately 25 cm in width. It weighs approximately 7 kg. Very rigorous packaging when shipping by colissimo.
