Perfect Blue-Purple German Glasur Keramik Planter carved wooden whimsy Second half of the 19thThis smallish planter is hard to photograph it sort of glows, making it look kind of soft around the edges. I am reluctant to call it periwinkle as it seems a bit too rich for that, but it's really a perfect color, and a perfect form, too really, can't argue with a thing about it! 6" in diameter, 5 7 8" tall. Marked Made in Germany, Glasur Keramik on the underside. Excellent condition.
