Up for sale is a stunning matched pair of vintage ceramic monkey head planters — a showstopping find for any collector of Mid-Century Modern, Hollywood Regency, or Italian art pottery.
These sculptural cachepots feature beautifully detailed primate faces rendered in a creamy white glaze with soft pink accents on the nose and lips, and striking glossy black eyes with painted lash details. The textured fur and radiating mane give each piece incredible dimensionality. The two planters are a matched pair and display beautifully together.
Details:
∙ Believed to be Italian-made, circa 1970s
∙ Signed on the bottom (see photos)
∙ Cream/off-white glaze with pink and black painted accents
∙ Open top — ideal as a planter, cachepot, or decorative bowl
∙ Interior shows evidence of prior plant use (water staining visible in one piece)
∙ No chips but one has a hairline crack noted on the exterior
∙ Sold as a pair
Style: Mid-Century Modern / Hollywood Regency / Chinoiserie / Boho
These are the kind of statement pieces that look incredible flanking an entryway, on a mantle, or as a pair of outdoor patio planters. The monkey motif was a beloved design element of the Hollywood Regency era and continues to be one of the most sought-after looks in vintage home décor.
Condition: Good vintage condition consistent with age and prior use. One hairline crack on one. Please review all photos carefully.
