This softly modeled form with beautiful sculptural lines captures the playful sophistication of mid-century decorative ceramics. Beautifully styled on a bookshelf, console, or mantel, it works especially well in eclectic, chinoiserie, bohemian, and Hollywood Regency interiors. Likely dating to the 1950s–1960s, this piece was created using traditional slip-cast ceramic methods and reflects the era’s fascination with Asian-inspired decorative arts. The glossy glaze pools beautifully in the recessed details adding depth and character throughout, and light crazing in the glaze further enhances its vintage patina. Just gorgeous! See less
