Description

Vintage Japan Small Puppy Dog Planter Pink, Yellow & Blue

This little planter is the perfect touch for a baby's room -- one that won't take up a lot of space among all the baby supplies! He's just 4-3/4" wide, 1-3/4" deep and 3" tall to the top of the puppy's nose. The bottom of the piece is marked "JAPAN" in blue.

This is one of those estate sale finds that you spot, and then excitedly pick up. You immediately start running your fingers over the surface looking for tell-tale rough spots and chips ... and then you feel it, and your heart falls. This little puppy planter is just so darned cute -- but somewhere along the way, he sustained a concussion to the back of his head! As you can see in the photo, there is a circular hole in the back of his head at the neckline, with a hairline crack running upwards. With a plant in place, the hole (which is just under 1/2" in diameter) would not be noticeable. But it is there ... but he was just too cute to toss in the trash can!

This puppy is on alert! Reminiscent of a stuffed plush animal, he's standing firmly on all four feet, and his head is stretched forward a bit. His body is a pretty shade of pink with blue legs and a yellow face and long ears. He has a black-dot nose that matches his black-dot eyes placed on either side of his square-ish muzzle. His color changes at his legs, tail and head are outlined in brown. The opening for the planter is in the middle of his back; it's just the right size for a small houseplant, a little succulent or a small floral arrangement.

If you don't fancy a planter or vase, this would be a great container for a few Q-tips or cotton balls, along with a spot for those little nail clippers that are so hard to keep track of. Such a sweet little something for a sweet little someone!
