1920's Art Deco Colorful Ceramic Bird Planter

About the Item

This striking 1920s Art Deco ceramic bird planter is a sculptural masterpiece, embodying the era’s love for bold color, geometric forms, and exotic influences. Designed with a circular yellow bowl as its centerpiece, the planter is surrounded by three beautifully detailed birds in shades of blue, burgundy, cream, and green. Perched atop sleek black columns that rise dramatically from the base, the birds add a dynamic, architectural quality to the piece. The bowl itself is richly decorated, featuring oblong indentations along the top and a mesmerizing pattern of interlocking half-circles at the base, further emphasizing the Art Deco aesthetic. Made in Japan, this unique planter reflects the era’s fascination with the exotic and the avant-garde, blending sculptural elements with vivid coloration. The 1920s and 30s saw an influx of Japanese ceramics into Western markets, often featuring intricate, hand-painted details and daring Art Deco designs inspired by global influences. This planter is a perfect example of that trend, making it a striking statement piece for any solarium or vintage collection. In excellent condition, the planter exhibits only the most minor paint loss at the rim. One bird has a rough spot on the back of its head, which appears to be either a glazing defect or a partial chip. The glaze has developed an overall crazing pattern, typical of ceramics from this period, with some overglaze visible at the bottom.
