Rendered in softly blended pastel glazes—greens, reds, yellows, and cream tones—the pieces display the playful figural aesthetic popular in American decorative pottery of the mid-20th century.
The sculptural forms, expressive hand-painted facial details, and integrated planter openings suggest production during the 1940s, a period known for novelty planters made for home décor and giftware. The figures are hollow-cast ceramic with smooth glazed finishes and retain a strong folk-art and storybook character.
This set works beautifully as an accent for shelves, mantels, or console tables, and is especially appealing to collectors of vintage American pottery, figural planters, and mid-century decorative objects.

• Two Dutch girl figural planters
