Vintage Porcelain Doggy Planter

Description

This cute vintage doggy planter was hand painted in Japan. He is made of porcelain and stands 3 ¼” high to the top of his head and is 4 ¼” wide. The dog has his features outlined in black, a bright burgundy tongue and pink accents on his ears and tail, his body has a few x and o type grids in mauve and burgundy The little pot that he holds has blue lattice like decoration on the outside.

The planter is in good used vintage condition, with no nicks or chips but does have what maybe a hairline crack or perhaps a line in the crazing in the pot. The overall crazing only adds to its charm. You will also find a rough spot on the rim where there was a bubble in the glaze.

Despite its flaws, which would go undetected unless very closely examined, it is still a very useful and charming object. This planter would be so cute holding a tiny plant or cotton balls in the nursery, it could also be made into a pincushion.

Give this hard working doggy a new home and new purpose in life!
