Mid-Century Ribbed Pedestal Planter or Urn
This is a vintage ceramic pedestal urn or florist's vase, likely produced in the mid-20th century (circa 1950s-1970s). The piece features a distinct fluted or ribbed body that flares outward at the rim, which has a subtle scalloped edge. The vessel is supported by a tall, turned pedestal stem that terminates in a matching scalloped circular base. The material is a heavy-weight slip-cast ceramic covered in a high-gloss glaze. The finish is a characteristic 'speckle' or 'stubble' glaze consisting of a cream or beige base tone with dense brown floral/mineral-like speckling throughout, designed to mimic the appearance of stone or granite. This style was highly popular in American art pottery from manufacturers like Haeger, Hull, or Red Wing. The condition appears to be excellent with a strong glossy luster and no visible chips, cracks, or large-scale crazing on the exterior. The molding is crisp, showing clear definition in the vertical ribs. The piece stands approximately 6 to 8 inches tall and exhibits the sturdy, functional craftsmanship typical of mid-century mass-market decor.
