Description
Art nouveau style jardiniere, all white. The design looks somewhat like a Maxwell Parrish picture. Seems like the work is "all one piece", not separate pieces layered onto each other before firing. (I know little about ceramics.) It is an unusual item, would be interesting to know if it could be worth more than the $30 purchase cost in 1985. I do not know if store that sold the item called it new, pre-owned or antique.
My question - does this seem to be a vintage item or relatively new ?
Thanks
