Sorry, it's a recent asian import.
wow! that's a surprise. thank you.
I am seeing this cute planter being offered as vintage on several sites. It certainly does have the look of vintage pottery. A good example of buyer beware. I think art.pottery is correct. I found the pot at East Bay Wilds Nursery's site, in the garden statues, pots, and things section. I've been researching a little green elephant planter that is unmarked, that has a very similar look to it.
I would agree that this is likely a recent asian import, in part due to the entirely glazed bottom. I am getting ready to post a majolica elephant I am thinking may be older... I'll be curious to hear what others think. It will be my first time trying out Show and Tell. :)
I think this is very nice, even if it is a new export.
I just wanted to say I've entirely glazed bottoms on old Bretby pieces, so i wouldn't go by that alone.
hello xoxbrennyxox. the other site you mention where you saw one like this is actually my other site! thanks!
East Bay Wilds Nursery in Oakland? What a funny coincidence. I found you online while doing research for my elephant planter. I will have to visit in-person. I am not too far away, in Yuba City. Another funny coincidence.
please do visit when you can. there are lots of hidden treasures there, and not all of them are plants.
