Among exceptional vintage finds for collectors of American art pottery, this pentagon-shaped vessel showcases Haeger's mastery of both form and glaze work.
The striking five-sided geometric design features crisp, angular lines that create visual interest from every angle. Finished in a luminous deep red glaze, the piece displays the rich color saturation and glossy surface quality that made Haeger pottery so desirable during the Mid Century era. The subtle variations in the glaze add organic warmth to the modernist form, while the footed base provides both practical stability and sculptural elegance.

Haeger Potteries, established in 1871 in Dundee, Illinois, evolved into one of America's premier art pottery manufacturers. During the Mid Century period, the company became renowned for creating contemporary designs with innovative glazes that appealed to modern homeowners seeking stylish, affordable decorative pieces. Their commitment to quality craftsmanship and artistic design made Haeger a household name.
This versatile piece functions beautifully as a planter for succulents or small plants, a sculptural centerpiece bowl, or a catch-all for keys and small items. The bold geometric form and saturated color make it an instant conversation piece that enhances both vintage and contemporary interiors. See less
