Bunny Vase Appraisal

Easter Parade CIRCA Porcelain Bunny Planter/Vase

This item is a rectangular, possibly square-based, porcelain or ceramic container, likely a planter or decorative vase, from the 'Easter Parade' collection by 'CIRCA'. It features a glazed white surface serving as a canvas for charming, colorful floral and bunny rabbit decorations. Each visible side of the container is adorned with an image of a rabbit's head, appearing to be in an upright or slightly tilted position, surrounded by a vibrant garland or wreath of assorted flowers in shades of pink, blue, yellow, and green foliage. The artistic style of the rabbits suggests a soft, somewhat whimsical depiction, possibly watercolor-like in appearance. The base of the container indicates it is made of 'PORCELAIN / PORCELAINE' and is 'MICROWAVE & DISHWASHER SAFE / VA AU MICRO-ONDES ET AU LAVE VAISELLE'. Furthermore, it states 'DESIGNED IN AUSTRALIA. MADE IN CHINA / CONÇU EN AUSTRALIE. FABRIQUÉ EN CHINE'. This suggests a relatively modern manufacturing period, likely post-2000, given the common practice of designing in one country and manufacturing in another for cost efficiency. The piece appears to be in excellent condition with no visible chips, cracks, or significant wear to the glaze or painted design. The clean lines and clear markings on the base indicate good quality control in its production. Its design points towards a seasonal or decorative use, particularly around the spring or Easter holiday, due to its 'Easter Parade' branding and prominent bunny imagery. The overall craftsmanship is good, with clear, well-applied decals or transfers, and a consistent glaze. The item is free from any discernible damage, suggesting it has been well-preserved.
