Vintage Fox Mini Planter in Crackle Glaze Ceramic
Viridian Eclection
The Piece
A small vintage planter modeled as a stylized fox, in glazed ceramic.
The finish is a pale blue crackle glaze with warm brown and ochre veining running through it, which gives the surface age, texture and depth. The face is rendered in a cream tone, with black eyes and nose.
The form is rounded and pared back. The fox is legible at a glance but the modeling is restrained, which keeps it a decorative object rather than a novelty.
History & Provenance
No maker's mark is visible, so nothing can be attributed with confidence and the piece is read from its glaze and modeling alone.
The crackle glaze and the simplified animal form place it in a whimsical vintage idiom with a cottage and woodland register, and a sweetness in the face that recalls Scandinavian design.
It is vintage, and the date is not established.

Why It Belongs in Your Home
The scale is small and the personality is not. It brings warmth to a shelf, a windowsill, a desk or a bedside table, and the crackle glaze keeps it looking aged rather than sweet.
As a planter it takes tiny succulents, rooted cuttings, air plants or faux greenery. It will equally hold matches or cotton stems, or stand alone as a ceramic accent.
In a layered interior the smallest objects often do the most, softening a shelf and making the whole arrangement look intentional. For a buyer drawn to animal motifs, vintage ceramics or cottage interiors, this is that kind of object.
Every piece is packed with professional-grade materials: multiple foam layers, double-boxing, directional and fragile handling labels. For large furniture we use custom timber crating. We photograph packing before dispatch and can provide images on request.

All antique and vintage items are sold as described and all sales are final. Each listing includes detailed condition notes and photographs so you can make a fully informed decision. We encourage buyers to ask questions — about condition, dimensions, finish, provenance — before purchasing.
Antiques are irreplaceable and one-of-a-kind. Carrier handling is outside our control once a piece has left our facility, and major carriers including FedEx do not insure antiques. We do everything within our power to ensure safe transit, but cannot accept liability for carrier damage. If damage occurs in transit, we will provide full documentation to support your carrier claim.
