Vintage Napco Ceramic Elephant Nursery Planter. Measures 7" in height by 6 1/2" wide. Good condition but has crazing all over and the inside is stained.
Bring home a piece of history with this authentic Vintage Napco Ceramic Elephant Nursery Planter. Measuring approximately 7 inches in height and 6 1/2 inches wide, this oversized baby planter features a delightful array of pastel blue and yellow stripes accented by soft pink ears and a vibrant blue polka-dot bow. These figurines were often given as hospital gifts for new mothers during the mid-20th century, typically arriving filled with floral arrangements.
This specific model showcases the classic anthropomorphic style that made Napcoware from Japan a household favorite during the 1950s and 1960s. The elephant is depicted with its trunk raised—a traditional symbol of good luck—and large, sweet eyes that add to its playful character. It is an ideal choice for a vintage-themed nursery, a collector of anthropomorphic ceramics, or as a unique baby shower centerpiece. Please be aware that this piece displays significant crazing throughout the glaze and some staining on the interior, both of which are common for ceramic items of this age and serve as proof of its authentic vintage history.
This item is vintage, approximately 60 years old. While it appears to be in good 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.
