AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Vintage Mid-Century Dutch Earthenware Planter – 1950s
A striking mid-century modern earthenware planter from the Netherlands, dating to the 1950s. This elongated rectangular planter is a textbook example of post-war Dutch ceramic design, combining strong architectural form with refined surface treatment.
The exterior is finished with a rhythmic vertical ribbed relief, accentuated by a contrasting black and off-white structured glaze that creates depth and visual movement. The interior features a rich, glossy olive-green glaze, beautifully pooling at the base and corners—an effect highly characteristic of high-quality studio and workshop ceramics of the period.
Its long, low profile makes it particularly suitable for succulents, cacti, bonsai arrangements, or minimalist interior styling, while the sculptural design allows it to stand alone as a decorative object.
Origin: Frabertho Holland
Period: 1950s
Material: Earthenware
Condition: Mint condition
Dimensions: 11.5 × 36 × 15 cm (height × width × depth)
Weight: 1.75 kg
Condition: The planter is in excellent, near condition, with no cracks, chips, or restorations. Glaze is vivid and well preserved, with only natural kiln characteristics consistent with authentic vintage production.
This piece reflects the mid-century modern fascination with texture, geometry, and earthy glazes, seen in Dutch ceramic production of the post-war era. The strong linear relief and restrained color palette make it a timeless object that integrates effortlessly into both vintage and contemporary interiors.
A true eye-catcher and a refined addition for collectors of mid-century ceramics or modernist design.
