Manufacturer: Mid Century Modern Pottery
Unmarked small low planter that from style is a mid century modern piece, but we don't know exactly who made this or when. Made of pottery or ceramic or clay.
Low light green planter which we would call mint green in roughly oval shape with some scalloping or curving to the design and vertical lines on the sides. Measures 6 1/8 inches long x 3 1/2 inches wide and stands about 2 1/4 inches tall. It weighs 12.5 ounces unpacked.
What is most distinctive here is that it was not made perfectly in shape. You can see in the images that the top rim slopes down on both sides (is not even across) but more so on one side than the other. This is how this piece was made in manufacture. It could have been a manufacturing error or intentional, we don't know. Further, when first placed on a table, the piece does not immediately sit firmly, it will shake slightly and then sit still.
Even with this could easily be used as intended for small plants or bulbs, and might be effective for bonsai plants which often use low planters. 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 7 images to show from all angles. Most were shot with the camera lighting which causes white "hot spot" reflections on the smooth glazed surfaces. However, we also included one without the camera light to help show detail, although this appears yellower. Please use the zoom feature to examine closely.
Lovely vintage condition, with no major flaws beyond what has been indicated prior. We see no chips, cracks, crazing. It may not have been previously used for plants as we don't see the common dirt/use staining. There is expected slight age/wear via surface glazing wear on interior base, some scratches, dark spots/dots, slight rim wear/darkening in spots, wear to underside rim on which this sits, etc., but nothing to worry about here. |
