Adorable vintage ceramic planter shaped like a stylized baby deer (fawn) with an exaggerated, graceful long neck, large ears, simple round eye, tiny mouth, flared bell-bottom legs, and a cute upturned tail. The body is hollow with a large open trough along the back (from neck to tail) that serves as the planter space—perfect for small succulents, air plants, faux greenery, dried flowers, or even as a quirky pen/pencil holder.
- Dimensions: Approximately 7.5 inches tall × 4 inches wide × 2 inches deep (compact and eye-catching—see photos for scale).
- Color & Finish: Soft mint/celadon green glaze with subtle variations and light crazing (fine crackle lines) that add authentic mid-century character and retro charm.
- Style & Era: Classic 1950s–1970s mid-century modern (MCM) pottery—kitsch, whimsical animal form typical of California or USA makers (possibly Haeger-inspired or generic mold). The elongated proportions and flared legs give it that atomic-era/modernist vibe popular in homes then.
- Condition: Very good vintage condition—no major chips, cracks, or repairs. Light crazing throughout (normal for glazed ceramics of this age), minor glaze wear/dirt spots on feet/tail, and small unglazed patches (production or light wear). Sturdy, display-ready, and full of personality!
