Royal Copley Leprechaun by Tree Stump Planter

Description

St. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner and this little leprechaun just seems to be standing around waiting for that day!
This whimsical planter is charming and unique is made in the form of a tree stump on a dark green base, the opening in the top will hold nice shamrock or cut flowers.
A cheeky elf leans against the stump with hands behind his back; he is dressed in green but has a jaunty rose-colored cap. His facial features are molded; brown raised eyebrows, black dot eyes and a round mouth as if he is whistling. At his slippered feet, is a big orangey mushroom.
The planter stands 6 ¾” high and 6 ½” wide across the base. The exterior is molded in a crinkly pattern to resemble tree bark while the base has some faint ridging to resemble the grass. There are three bars across the base so typical of Royal Copley, as is the coloring. Although unmarked I have seen the same planter attributed to Royal Copley on other online sites.
The planter is in excellent used condition, clean and free
from cracks, chips or nicks: the coloring is vivid and clear. There is light overall crazing in some areas.
This is such a cute piece I was highly tempted to keep it myself. If you collect elves, pixies, gnomes or leprechauns this would be a wonderful addition to your collection.
