About the Item
Vintage David Cressey & Robert Maxwell “Teardrop Sunburst” Bowl Planter for Earthgender
This exceptional Vintage “Teardrop Sunburst” Bowl Planter, designed by the iconic duo David Cressey and Robert Maxwell for Earthgender, is a masterpiece of mid-century California ceramics. With a commanding presence, this planter measures 24 inches in diameter and stands 25 inches tall, making it a stunning centerpiece for both indoor and outdoor spaces.
David Cressey and Robert Maxwell are celebrated for their contributions to the mid-century modern movement, particularly in the realm of ceramics. Cressey, known for his textured, sculptural designs, and Maxwell, with his focus on organic forms, collaborated to create pieces that blend artistry with functionality. Their work for Earthgender is especially revered, as it captures the essence of California’s natural beauty and the ethos of the mid-century design movement.
Mid-century California ceramics are characterized by their emphasis on form, texture, and the integration of natural elements. This planter’s “Teardrop Sunburst” pattern showcases the era’s penchant for bold, yet organic designs, with a motif that draws inspiration from the sun and nature’s flowing forms.
Styling this piece is an invitation to creativity. Indoors, it can serve as a dramatic statement planter in a spacious living room, filled with a large leafy plant like a fiddle leaf fig or a bird of paradise. The contrast between the planter's earthy tones and the greenery will create a striking visual effect. Outdoors, it can be the centerpiece of a modern garden, perhaps placed on a patio or at the entrance to a home, filled with drought-tolerant succulents or ornamental grasses, echoing the Californian landscape.
This planter is not just a functional piece; it's a reflection of mid-century artistry, bringing a timeless appeal to any space it graces.
