Details

  • Item: Small ceramic planter / catchall with bird-on-log design
  • Era: Unknown (estimated 1970s–1980s based on glaze/style)
  • Size: Approx. 7" L x 5" W x 3" H
  • Material: Glazed ceramic
  • Design: Bright green bird perched at one end; log form with warm honey/amber-to-brown shading and carved “woodgrain” look
  • Finish: Glossy glaze with visible age-related crazing (fine crackle lines) on the lighter areas

Planter notes (important): Shallow interior + no drainage holes

  • Best for succulents, air plants, small foliage (especially in a nursery pot set inside), or mossy arrangements

Creative uses:

  • Desk catchall (clips, coins, rings)
  • Bathroom cotton rounds/Q-tips storage (lined)
  • Vintage display piece for a shelf, sunroom, or windowsill vignette

Condition Grade: Good — noticeable wear.

Positives

  • Displays adorably—colors are still lively and the bird detail reads clearly
  • No structural cracks seen in the body from the provided angles
  • Interior cavity looks clean enough for décor use (or planting with a liner)
  • Sits flat; solid, weighty ceramic feel

Issues / Wear

  • Small chip on the bird’s beak that was colored in by a previous owner (blends fairly well and is hard to notice unless you’re looking for it)
  • Crazing throughout the glaze (fine crackle lines), especially visible on the lighter tan/yellow areas
  • Small glaze specks/pinpoint marks and minor surface scuffs consistent with display/use
  • Base shows heavy shelf wear/discoloration (dark rubbing/soiling on the unglazed underside)

Pricing will reflect the beak chip and overall wear—still a really cute piece.

Collector’s Notes

These small figural planters are the kind of cheerful, space-saving décor that makes a shelf feel styled without trying—especially paired with a tiny succulent or used as a catchall by the door.

Every listing spells it out and shows it in photos. Chips, hairlines, crazing, worn plating, old repairs. If I did not mention it, it is not there.

Yes. Every photo is the actual piece, taken by me. When it sells, it is gone.

I note maker, mark, era, and measurements when I can confirm them, and say so plainly when I cannot. Unmarked pieces get dated by what the piece itself shows.
