Vintage Haeger Pottery Madonna with Child Planter. Measures 11 3/4" in height. Excellent condition.
This sophisticated Royal Haeger planter captures a serene religious scene through a modernist lens, featuring a minimalist silhouette and a smooth, cream-colored semi-gloss glaze. The central figure of the Madonna stands tall at nearly 12 inches, cradling the Christ child in a style that emphasizes fluid movement and graceful proportions. Flanking the base of the figurine are two functional planter pockets, designed to hold small succulents, ivy, or air plants, making this a versatile piece of functional art.
Founded in 1871 in Dundee, Illinois, Haeger Pottery became world-renowned for its artistic "Royal Haeger" line, which often utilized these striking, elongated forms to create dramatic home accents. This specific Virgin Mary design is a cherished collectible for those who appreciate Mid-Century Modern religious art or classic American studio pottery. Its neutral ivory tone allows it to blend seamlessly with various interior styles, from traditional holiday displays to year-round minimalist setups.
