Manufacturer: Mid Century Modern Pottery
Small planter that from style is a mid century modern piece, but we don't know exactly who made this or when. It is marked on the underside base with the style number "419" and then "US" but we don't know which company made this. Made of pottery or ceramic or clay.
Rich pink colored planter in oval shape with a molded diamond or cross hatched design on the exterior. Measures about 6 1/2 inches long x 3 1/4 inches wide and stands about 2 13/16 inches tall. This old planter weighs 14.5 ounces unpacked.
Could be used as intended for small plants or bulbs, and might be effective for bonsai plants. Could also be used in bathroom or kitchen settings to hold a small grouping of bottles or other items as is a current decorating trend.
We've provided 8 images to show from all angles. Please note that the camera lighting causes white "hot spot" reflections on the smooth glazed surfaces. Please use the zoom feature to examine closely.
While this piece has a great look, it has wear and flaws that support its vintage status and age, and is not mint. This old piece is all over crazed with a fine line crazing. We can see a number of hairlines, three that start on the upper rim and then extend down the interior, a fourth smaller hairline that starts on the rim and extends on the exterior, and several other small hairlines on the rim and/or side. There are several circular lines/hairlines on the interior base (but none of this goes through to the exterior base) and a small area of darker crazing on the interior base. The planter has other evidence of age via many tiny dark/black dots, darkened spots, some scratches, pin/pit dots in the pottery made in manufacturing, etc.
Still a fun piece out of an older home that will display well. |
