Gobbler USA E-49 Ceramic Planter/Vase

This is a vintage ceramic planter or vase, identified by the brand 'Gobbler USA e-49' which suggests its manufacturer and model number. The item features a scalloped, petal-like rim, giving it an organic, floral appearance. The interior of the vessel is glazed in a soft, mottled pink color, hinting at a feminine or pastel aesthetic often popular in mid-20th century ceramics. The exterior is a light, pearlescent blue-green, possibly an opalescent or iridescent glaze, which varies in tone and shimmer depending on the light. The body of the planter is fluted or ribbed, flowing down into a rounded, bulbous base. The overall form suggests a stylized representation of a flower or seashell. The craftsmanship appears to be mold-cast, as is common for ceramic utilitarian and decorative wares of its period, with visible seams or lines consistent with this manufacturing process, particularly where the base meets the upper structure. There are no immediately obvious chips or cracks, however, the visible surface sheen in the pink interior and on the exterior suggests a good state of preservation for its age, though minor surface wear or crazing might be present upon closer inspection. The item's design points to a mid-century modern aesthetic, likely from the 1940s to 1960s, reflecting the popular colors and forms of that era. Its condition appears to be relatively good, making it a desirable collectible for those interested in vintage ceramics or specific decor styles.
