Mid-Century Glazed Terracotta Mermaid - Putti Garden Fountain by Winkle
Mid-Century Glazed Terracotta Mermaid - Putti Garden Fountain by Winkle

Mid-Century Glazed Terracotta Mermaid - Putti Garden Fountain by Winkle

Located in St. Louis, MO

An exceptional and highly whimsical vintage glazed terracotta garden fountain spouter, beautifully sculpted to depict a charming mermaid child—or putti of the sea—cradling an upturned fish. Attributed to the historic Winkle Terra Cotta Company of St. Louis, Missouri, this sculptural piece exemplifies the finest mid-century American architectural art pottery. It features a beautifully balanced, split bifurcated tail resting on an integrated, circular molded plinth base. The entire figure is enveloped in a magnificent, heavy cream-colored crackle glaze (craquelure), accented with subtle, organic speckling that lends a remarkably sophisticated, stone-like texture and a soft, lustrous sheen. Designed with both artistry and utility in mind, the fish's mouth serves as a functional water spout, perfectly positioned to accommodate internal plumbing for a dynamic water feature. The reverse lower base retains its original factory-stamped lettering beneath the thick glaze, heavily substantiating its St. Louis provenance. Whether utilized as a striking focal point over a classical wall fountain basin, nestled within a lush garden niche, or showcased indoors as an architectural statement piece, this captivating terracotta sculpture offers an enchanting blend of historic character, sculptural depth, and functional aquatic charm. A Legacy of American Architectural Art Pottery Established in 1883 by Joseph Winkle, the Winkle Terra Cotta Company of St. Louis, Missouri, was one of the premier giants of the late 19th and early 20th-century American ceramic industry. Located in the historic, clay-rich Cheltenham district, Winkle transformed raw Missouri clay into highly celebrated architectural embellishments and garden ornaments found across the country. While famous for manufacturing complex, sculpted facade elements for iconic historic landmarks—most notably fabricating the legendary terra cotta ornamentation for Louis Sullivan’s masterwork, the Wainwright Building—the firm also operated highly successful specialty "side lines". From their 6-acre manufacturing plant, Winkle deployed a staff of master, European-trained sculptors and dedicated ceramic chemists to produce fine stock catalog garden statuary, fountains, jardinieres, and urns. Key Historical & Collector NotesMastery of Glaze: Under the direction of specialized ceramic engineers, Winkle pioneered thick, lustrous, weather-resistant cream, ivory, and polychrome glazes. Over decades of exposure, these heavy glazes naturally develop a beautiful, sought-after crackle patina (craquelure). The Sculptural Style: Because the company worked closely with the leading architects of the Gilded Age and the Mid-Century transition, their garden wares consistently display highly refined, classically proportioned motifs—including whimsical putti, sea life, and classical revivals. Market Desirability: Authentic, factory-stamped pieces from the St. Louis terra cotta boom are highly coveted by architectural historians and interior designers alike for their exceptional durability, rich historic provenance, and sculptural depth.

Vintage, New and Antique Fountains for Your Home and Garden

Adding antique and vintage fountains to your home and garden is a great way to accentuate your interiors or landscape design as well as reap the benefits of the calming sound of flowing water.

The design of your outdoor fountain — or the indoor fountain you’ve introduced to your parlor — is going to determine how the water flows into its basin. Whether your new addition is a simple bowl-shaped design, an elaborate wall-mounted Art Deco fountain or a classical tiered tower boasting decoratively carved floral motifs, this will determine the movement of the feature’s water as well as the sounds it makes. If you’re looking to ensure that there is steadily bubbling water, a slow trickle, a waterfall or cascading sheets of water, you’ll want to think about the architecture of your fountain.

Interior and exterior fountains are made from a variety of materials. Cast concrete lends a classical look to your outdoor fountain. Limestone, a component of concrete, is a dense rock with a creamy white finish that calls to mind classical sculptures. If you’ve already adorned your garden or patio and firepit area with Roman statues, this will feel cohesive in your outdoor space. While limestone fountains are low maintenance, these features will require upkeep. A limestone fountain will need to be cleaned out and undergo a water change on occasion — at least every two to four months — in order to prevent algae growth as well as the smell that might accompany it.

Glazed ceramic fountains, which also warrant regular cleaning to reduce buildup of debris and mineral deposits, will add a splash of color to your garden or entryway. A Spanish or Italian fountain adorned with vibrant ornamental tiles will pop against your shrubbery and concrete planters. Lightweight options for outdoor fountains can be found in fiberglass and cast iron if stone seems too heavy for your taste.

By the 19th century, Victorians realized there were health benefits to fountains. The sound of running water can help create a harmonious and soothing environment in your well-appointed outdoor oasis or inviting foyer, and today, we could all use a little relaxation.

It’s time to harness the calming properties of gently flowing water. You will love the serenity that a vintage, new or antique fountain from 1stDibs can add to your home and garden.
