This cylindrical ceramic umbrella stand or floor dry flower container is finished in a vibrant, multi-tonal turquoise and emerald green drip glaze. The body features a high-relief repoussé design depicting a dynamic aquatic scene, where several carp (koi) leap through churning, stylized waves. Above the water, a classic Ruyi cloud border encircles the upper rim, adding a traditional architectural element to the piece.

The glazing is particularly striking, with deep pools of teal and forest green cascading down the sides to create a "flambé" or drip effect that highlights the texture of the fish scales and the crests of the waves. The interior and the unglazed base reveal a coarse, terracotta-colored clay body, suggesting a heavy, durable construction suitable for entryway use. The overall aesthetic blends mid-century organic textures with traditional Eastern motifs, resulting in a functional piece that doubles as a bold sculptural accent.
