About the Item

An exceptional pair of mid-century green-glazed ceramic cachepots presented on striking bases wrapped in genuine snakeskin, evocative of Karl Springer’s signature exotic materiality and sculptural forms. The rounded, bulbous profile of the planters pays subtle homage to traditional Asian vessel shapes, particularly those found in Chinese or Korean ceramics, while the modernist glaze and finish anchor them firmly in 20th-century design. The juxtaposition of smooth, celadon-toned ceramic with the richly textured, reptilian-patterned bases creates a bold and tactile contrast. The stands are meticulously crafted, with a drum-like top supported by four squared legs — a form that reflects both Asian low-table design and Springer’s geometric refinement. The naturalistic luxury of the snakeskin offers a glamorously primitive edge, characteristic of Springer’s fusion of global influences and high-style décor. These cachepots function beautifully as indoor planters, sculptural accents, or as standalone art objects. Ideal for interiors that blend Hollywood Regency, organic modernism, Asian-inspired decor, or contemporary eclecticism, these pieces are both conversation-worthy and quietly elegant. Photographed with Eames LTW and wire rocker for scale.
