Vintage ARDCO Dallas Ceramic Elephant Planter • Made in Japan
This charming vintage ceramic elephant was produced for ARDCO Fine Quality of Dallas, an importer known for decorative Japanese ceramics during the mid-20th century.
The elephant features a wonderfully rounded sculptural form covered in raised floral and geometric decoration, with contrasting glazed details that give the piece plenty of texture and personality.
An open reservoir at the top makes this piece ideal as a small planter, succulent pot, trinket holder, or decorative vase, while its whimsical elephant form displays beautifully all on its own.
A fun little piece for collectors of vintage animal ceramics, Made in Japan décor, eclectic interiors, or mid-century kitsch.
