The Chinese Teahouse, a garden pavilion in the park of Sanssouci in Potsdam is a marvel of decorations in gold. Fredrick the Great had it built by Gottfried Büring in the early 1760s. The golden Chinaman with his umbrella on top of the building doesn't show up well on the stamp, but he must be admired! DDR stamp of 1983

The "Lady with a Parasol" also represented Barcelona for the 50th anniversary of the city's trade fair in 1970. The logo in the lower left corner may have to do with another representative of Barcelona: its soccer team. The new trade fair building has completely different architecture.

"The Lady with the Parasol" also participated in the philatelic meeting of 1980 in Barcelona. The lady was sculpted of white marble by Roig Soler and erected in 1855 (the original is now protected indoors).

Hong Kong featured scenes from operas on a set of stamps last year. One of them pictures a scene from "The Moon Pavilion". This opera played on the US west coast a few years ago.

An illustrated Khamsa of Nizami manuscript dating from the 16th century is featured on the stamp of the Maldives, 2016. It looks like a royal procession. The umbrella is being held over the rider on the dappled horse.

Turkey issued one of the many umbrellas symbolizing protection - this one of 2016 for the ozone layer.

Hi Rod, That's a nice very new Slovakian umbrella, the one from Turkey puts the map beneath the umbrella. K.
