About the Item

Add an unforgettable touch of charm and character to your space with this captivating mid-century modern metal bust planter. Designed in the form of a stylized female figure, this hand-painted folk art sculpture blends artistry and function with striking visual appeal. The piece features a gracefully elongated neck and a boldly contoured body adorned in angular bands of teal, cream, and soft seafoam green. Her serene, drawn-on facial features exude a calm, timeless elegance, while her crown of dimensional metal flowers—finished in a luminous aqua blue with metallic accents—offers a playful, whimsical flourish. Crafted from hand-shaped sheet metal, the vessel is hollow at the top, intended for use as a planter or unique display object. Visible signs of age, including areas of gentle paint loss and patina, lend authenticity and vintage charm to the piece. Whether displayed solo as sculptural art or filled with greenery, this one-of-a-kind object is a perfect conversation starter for modern eclectic interiors, retro-themed decor, or collectors of folk art and studio sculpture. An ideal statement piece for entryways, mantels, or gallery walls—this planter bridges the line between decorative utility and artistic expression.
