Featured Abstract design on bottomless vase?

Hi, Everyone! Happy New Year!

Asking for a friend

"It's not a vase, as there's no bottom, other than a piece of carpet glued to the base. It weighs a ton, it's approximately 18"H. Would love any feedback from the group here. Thanks in advance!"

 

I really like it and from what I see in the background, it fits right in with your style.

I'll bet there's a story for why it has no bottom that may never be known since it wasn't written down. The carpet piece likely just keeps it from scratching the floor.

 

I thought maybe it's a pedestal for another pot, like a jardiniere. But the weight is distributed wrong.

 

How've you been, scouts?

 

That's a non-Chanukkah Menorah/lampstand on there, seven branches, and I'd bet on the rest of the design being Israeli too. Not sure what's up with it having no bottom.

 

my 1st impression was Israeli too ..

 

The cat is a bit wachtmeister.

 

I think this piece is adorable! I would love it! Could it have been some type of umbrella stand with the drip pan removed? If the bottom broke, I would have kept it as well. Fun piece!

 

Hi scouts!
A fun piece, looks 1960s-70s. No siggy or mark anywhere? Maybe underneath the piece of carpet?

Yes, it is.

 

Fabulous piece! My first thought was MCM Italy.

 

That dang cat just looks so familiar!

Happy New Year!

 

Thanks for answering, everyone! I miss you all, so much. ❤️

I have updates, but no time to post atm.

 

I hope the fires stay north of you...
