Vintage Ceramic Bowl/Planter Made in Alaska. Rose decor. Measures about 4" in height with a 3.5" opening. Good condition. Has some crazing.
This charming vintage planter is a unique piece of North Country craftsmanship, originating from a specialized ceramic studio in Alaska. Featuring a striking, three-dimensional rose motif, the piece showcases a vibrant pink blossom accompanied by delicate buds and deep green foliage, all rendered in raised relief. The creamy off-white background provides a neutral canvas that allows the floral details to truly pop, making it a lovely addition to a cottage-style windowsill or a rustic mantel display.
The planter's modest size and rounded silhouette make it an ideal vessel for small succulents, African violets, or even as a decorative catch-all on a dressing table. Over the decades, the glaze has developed a beautiful, authentic crazing—a network of fine surface lines that adds a layer of genuine vintage character and proof of its history. While this texture is present throughout, the structural integrity remains sound, making it a functional and sturdy piece of art pottery. Its "Made in Alaska" origin adds a touch of regional rarity, appealing to collectors who seek out American-made ceramics from beyond the contiguous states. It pairs exceptionally well with other floral-themed collectibles or as a bright, feminine accent in a sunlit room.
This item is vintage, approximately 45 years old.
