Bonsai Planter attributed to Isamu Noguchi, Japan 1950

About the Item

A wonderful little planter attributed to Isamu Noguchi, manufactured in Japan around 1950. This elegant piece is made of high quality cast iron, black lacquered with a very nice finish. It has an elegant shape, three rounded legs and is all together crafted with a fantastic eye for quality. Designed as a bonsai planter, it would be greatly complimented by planting a bonsai in it yet also has a fantastic appeal as it is, as a decorative statement. It remains in very good, vintage condition with minor wear consistent with age and use, preserving a beautiful patina.
