Kiln-fired ceramic with a glossy multicolor glaze stands up to rain and full sun without chipping or fading during the warm months. The Emissary 17 in. Elephant Multicolor Outdoor Garden Stool, available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping, is a handcrafted ceramic seat shaped like an elephant that doubles as a side table, plant pedestal, or footrest for patios and living rooms. Its compact 18 in. L x 10 in. W footprint fits tight corners, and the weather-resistant glaze lets you leave it outside spring through fall.
How Well Does Ceramic Handle Rain and Direct Sun?
Ceramic fired in a kiln is naturally moisture-resistant, so rain and humidity won't damage the surface or lift the glaze. The glossy multicolor finish resists UV fade during normal outdoor use, keeping its color through a season of sunshine. Because ceramic can crack under repeated freeze-thaw cycles, you'll need to bring this stool indoors before the first hard freeze and keep it there until spring -- it's not rated for winter exposure in cold climates.
Do You Have to Bring It Inside for Winter?
Yes, store this stool indoors during freezing weather -- prolonged cold will crack the ceramic. Before the first freeze, wipe it down with a damp cloth and move it to a garage, mudroom, or covered porch where temperatures stay above freezing. For routine cleaning during the outdoor season, a damp cloth is all you need; skip household chemicals that can dull the glaze.
Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?
Position it beside a lounge chair as a drink table, or cluster two near your outdoor bar stools as pedestals for lanterns or potted plants. The 17 in. height makes it low enough to use as a footrest in front of seating, and the multicolor glaze pairs well with both outdoor accent chairs and outdoor garden seats in wicker or teak. Indoors, use it as an end table flanking a sofa or as an entryway pedestal.
