    Hello again. Heres a boy and girl ceramic planters/vases, each carrying 2 containers. They look almost Dutch or maybe just European country kids. The painting on the boy is the usual smooth underglaze paint. The girl, every dot on her dress and the stripes on her scarf are all raised. I know there were a couple of people that did planters like this, the only one I can think of is Hedi Schoop but I know there were others. These are not Schoop. The boy has a "K" on one foot, the girl has a "C" or "L". Bottoms are unglazed. The boy stands 7" tall, the girl just over 6". There is a lot of crazing on both of them but it's quite uneven, I don't think it's artificial. Planters Boy Girl (2).JPG Planters Boy Girl (1).JPG Planters Boy Girl (3).JPG

    Thanks, y'all!

    What would you plant in those tiny pots?

    Beats me, but at one time they had soil in them, scrubbed as much of that out as I could get to. They also had plastic flowers in them, pulled several leaves out of one.

    1940s.
    Could be a California pottery.
    You might check out DeLee pottery.

    Some of the potteries also sold blanks to home hobbiests.
