Vintage Mid Century Ceramic Mermaid Planter

Add a touch of retro enchantment to your vanity, bathroom, or tiki bar with this stunning mid-century modern ceramic mermaid. Finished in a gorgeous, monochrome matte-satin sage green glaze, this 1950s/1960s siren features a classic pin-up silhouette, an iconic high ponytail, and detailed fish scales along her tail as she lounges gracefully on an ocean wave.

She holds a scalloped clamshell that functions perfectly as a small succulent planter, vanity catchall, soap dish, or ring holder. This piece is completely unmarked on the bottom but features the classic slip-cast hollow base characteristic of vintage California art pottery and mid-century Japanese imports.

A must-have addition for collectors of vintage kitsch, coastal grandmother aesthetics, or tropical MCM decor!

Condition:

Excellent vintage condition with no cracks, structural breaks, or repairs. Features a few tiny glaze pops and minor fleabites along the inner rim of the clamshell, which are typical of pottery from this era and do not distract from its display value.
