This is a beautiful vintage art pottery oval planter with floral details and handles that curl like someone flexing their muscles. It’s a beautiful creamy white color.

I display these pieces on their own, but there are plenty of functional uses for them as well—use as planters, vases, containers for objects, and more.

It is 9” long, 5 ½” wide at its widest part, and 5 ½” high from the bottom to the top of the handles.

It has crazing throughout (which I personally love because I think it adds so much vintage character), and some fleabites and rough spots that would have occurred during the production process. There are a few black specks. It has a small chip on the inside rim, which you don’t see on the outside.

It reminds me of pieces that Inarco made in Japan in the 1950s and 1960s, but it’s not marked or has a label that says Inarco. It is only marked Made in Japan.

This item is sold from a vintage boutique in Jenkintown, Pa.
