Odette Collective
A cheerful blue-and-white elephant garden seat from around 1960, the kind of whimsical accent Odette loves for the smile it brings to a room. Modeled in glazed ceramic with trunk raised for luck, the standing elephant wears a richly painted ceremonial blanket worked in cobalt scrollwork and a crisp Greek-key border against a bright white ground. The flat platform across its back is just right for a potted fern or orchid, a stack of books, or a drink set down beside a chair. Pieces like these are wonderfully versatile — equally at home flanking a doorway, anchoring a sunroom, or adding a pop of chinoiserie charm indoors or on a covered porch. Sturdy, glossy, and full of personality.
