AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This fine glazed earthenware swan-shaped planter is a long-standing classic of decorative arts from the second half of the 20th century, typical of the 1970s–1980s. With its elegant curved neck that sweeps forward and its stylized relief wings forming the receptacle, it possesses timeless retro charm. Measuring 31 cm in length, 22 cm in width, and 21 cm in height with a weight of 1200 grams, it offers ample volume to hold plants, flowers, or to serve as a unique catchall. Although there is no visible maker’s mark under the base, the quality of the glaze and the careful detailing, notably the beak hand-painted in a vibrant yellow-orange, attest to fine artisanal craftsmanship. The piece is in good overall condition, showing only very light signs of use that do not affect its pristine whiteness or its watertightness. A poetic and highly decorative item, ideal for bringing a touch of vintage chic to your interior.
