Whimsical Vintage Glazed Pottery Hippo Planter, Italian

Whimsical Vintage Glazed Ceramic Hippo Planter, Italian

Equal parts playful and sculptural, this charming ceramic hippopotamus planter is the ultimate conversation piece for your collected home. Crafted with beautifully exaggerated folds and endearing heft, the glossy ivory glaze highlights every delightful detail of this stylized beast of burden.

Generously sized, it’s perfect for showcasing a vibrant orchid, storing rolled hand towels, or corralling your favorite objets in a grandmillennial-meets-animal-kingdom way. The matte-glazed interior ensures functionality while the smooth exterior reflects light like a polished river stone.

Whether nestled on a bar cart, anchoring a console, or peeking out from under a chinoiserie cabinet, this hippo brings a cheeky wink of personality to any vignette.

It measures 15” long x 7.5” tall with a bit of age appropriate crazing.

Pieces like this are why I love Sourcing the South and the great state of Texas for vintage and antique heirloom estate decor is my favorite thing to do...shopping estate sales, online auctions, charity thrift stores, and antique malls to carefully curate a collection of fantastic finds that have and will stand the test of time.
