Japan, a fine large classic Yukimi hexagonal “broad roof” water lantern (some refer to these as “snow” lanterns), 38″ high and 38″ diameter at top, hand-carved, four sections, granite, Meiji period (1868-1890)

History of Yukimi lantern:

Yukimi-dōrō (雪見燈籠^?) or legged lanterns have as a base not a post but from one to six curved legs, and a wide umbrella with a finial either low or absent. Relatively low, they are used exclusively in gardens.^[8] The traditional placement is near the water, and a three-legged lantern will often have two legs in the water, and one on land. The umbrella can be round or have from three to eight sides, while the fire box is usually hexagonal. Yukimi denotes water reflection.

It was probably developed during the Momoyama period, but the oldest extant examples, found at the Katsura Villa in Kyoto, go back only to the early Edo period (seventeenth century). (Thank you Wikpedia)
