Welcome to my auction of this unusual Vintage Hand Painted Ceramic Planter featuring Three Swans.  Marked “Made in Japan” on the bottom, this piece is a creamy off white with the orange and black of the webbed feet, bills and eyes a striking contrast.  The planter measures about 2” deep for planting; including the swans it measures about 7 ¼” across.  An estate find, this piece is in wonderful condition with no chips, cracks, or repairs.  There is over-all crazing to the glaze and the extra orange paint dots due to a drippy brush are included at no extra charge!  The provided photo shows two and there two more on the other side.  A lovely piece for display, planting, or even potpourri!   

 Thank you for looking at my listing!
