Adorable & super kitsch pink & blue (Shih Tzu?) puppies in lace rimmed basket w/yellow detailed tufting front this small, Japanese planter/lvase. Originally sold as a nursery planter which is still a viable use. But, it's also the perfect piece to add a brilliant touch of kitch to any space. Minor flaws (see below) which I find forgivable due to age & rarity but mainly because of the overwhelming cuteness! Price reflects condition.
