Vintage Royal Haeger Pottery Woman and Cradle Planter. Measures about 11" in height by 7 1/2" long. Excellent condition.
This vintage Royal Haeger planter is a graceful example of mid-century American ceramic art, featuring the fluid, elongated lines that made the Dundee, Illinois, pottery studio famous. The piece depicts a serene woman in a long, flowing gown leaning tenderly over a cradle, which serves as a functional rectangular planter box. It is finished in a luminous white pearlized or iridescent glaze that provides a soft, glowing quality to the ceramic surface.
Measuring approximately 11 inches in height and 7.5 inches in length, this substantial piece is often sought after as a sentimental nursery accent or a unique vessel for spring floral arrangements. Haeger's "Royal" line was celebrated for bringing high-fashion sculptural forms into the everyday home, and this specific design is a beautiful representation of that era’s focus on elegance and maternal themes. It is a perfect addition for collectors of mid-century studio pottery or those looking for a sophisticated, classic nursery gift.
This item is vintage, approximately 50 to 60 years old. While the item appears to be in excellent condition, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw, I would reach out prior to sending it.
