Vintage Ceramic Madonna Music Box Planter. I'm unsure what tune it plays. Measures 9" in height. Excellent condition.
This elegant vintage Madonna bust is a multi-functional piece of mid-century religious art that serves as both a music box and a small planter. The figure is finished in a stunning pearlized or iridescent white glaze that catches the light beautifully, emphasizing the serene, soft features of the Virgin Mary in a classic praying position. Designed with a hollowed space at the back, it is perfect for holding small floral arrangements, rosaries, or air plants, while the internal musical mechanism provides a peaceful accompaniment to its visual grace.
The 9-inch height makes it a substantial and eye-catching addition to a home altar, mantel, or bedside table. These ceramic musical planters were highly popular mid-century items. The sculptural quality of the flowing robes and the lustrous finish give it a timeless, ethereal quality that appeals to collectors of religious figurines and vintage studio pottery alike.
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.
