Description
A tall inward scroll rises from the rounded bowl of this Lucia Ware planter, creating a compact flowing silhouette. Raised bands follow the curve and a yellow glaze accent marks the front. Glossy green covers the bowl and scroll, with deeper tones inside the opening.
Lucia Ware is the supplied maker identification for this South African ceramic piece, associated with Boksburg East Potteries. The supplied dating places it broadly in the mid 20th century, around 1945 and the 1950s, rather than establishing an exact year of manufacture. The underside photographs clearly show the LUCIA name and model number 2401. Related forms and makers appear in the South African Ceramics collection.
