BRUSH MCCOY WARE matte BLUE ART VELLUM planter HANDLED URN bowl ~1923 USA

Description

Offered for bidding is a lovely ceramic urn-shaped PLANTER made by Brush Pottery. It has two ear-like handles, and a beautiful bright blue mottled matte glaze.  This glaze was called Art Vellum, and was introduced in 1923.  Planter is well made, and quite heavy.
It measures 8 1/2 inches (21.6cm) from handle to handle, and stands 6 inches (15.2cm) tall at the rim. Opening in the top is 4 1/2 inches (11.4cm) in diameter. A U.S. quarter is shown in the second picture, to give an accurate impression of the size at a glance.
The planter is in excellent condition, with no chips, cracks, repairs, scratches, fading or discoloration. There are two tiny popped bubbles in the glaze (picture 6). They are near the bottom of the planter, so they don't show very much.

I pack all items in sturdy cartons with plenty of cushioning. My shipping time is a HIGH estimate -- I can usually ship faster than the estimated time. I am happy to combine shipping to save on postage IF doing so will not risk breakage of fragile items. If you win more than one of my items, please wait for a revised invoice before sending payment.
International customers please be aware that there may be customs fees and import duties not included in the cost of shipping. I will do what I can to keep the shipping costs low while still packing each item safely. If you need your item shipped overseas, PLEASE ASK FIRST about the shipping cost.
Good luck and thanks for looking!
