Fabulously fun, fabulously unusual & truly one-of-a-kind, this Soldier’s Head Vase / Planter is a very cool (and a very rare!) find! Manufactured in the early 40s & featuring the smiling, slightly dappled & markedly dimpled face of a handsome young Soldier in his dark brown / dark reddish military cap & collar, this textured Chalk Ware Vase / Planter is in good vintage condition, consistent with its advanced age (80+ years) & use. There is chipping paint (particularly around the base) & what appears to be a small (barely noticeable) chip by the Vase opening, but this piece is otherwise in remarkably great shape. Please view all listing photos for an accurate view of the condition of this fun & positively funky vintage piece. Measures approximately 6-1/2 tall, approximately 5-1/2 from ear to ear & approximately 5-1/2 deep. The Vase opening measures 1 x 1-1/4. Marked ELMER on the back of the Soldier’s collar - not sure if that’s his name - or the name of the manufacturer! Fun, campy & cool - the perfect Vase / Planter for a single stem flower or leaf, small succulent or air plant - & the perfect piece to add to anyone’s vintage Chalk Ware collections!
