In 1871, David H. Haeger, a German immigrant, became part owner of the Dundee Brickyard in 1871.  During that year, in the wake of the Great Chicago Fire, the company shipped bricks that were used to rebuild the city.  Within a year, Haeger purchased the company outright, becoming the sole owner and changing the name to the one we know today.  Haeger Potteries expanded its business to include tiles, decorative wares, and tablewares and is best know today for early mid-century arts and crafts designs and mid-century modern styles like this planter.  So much history in this one piece of pottery!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasuring approximately 6 5\/8\" long x 3 3\/4\" wide x 3\" tall, the planter is perfect for all types of indoor planting, including succulents, cacti, or bonsai, and can be used as a traditional vase with or without a flower frog.  There is a tiny chip on rim that was colored in by previous owner, a testament to her love of this planter, and a tiny chip on base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheck out our other vintage planters too, and choose a piece of history to add to your decor and treasure a fine example of mid-century American art pottery history when you pot up your next plant!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Vintage Kitchen \u0026 Garden","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68128212091132,"sku":null,"price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/0757\/7852\/files\/haegeroval.png?v=1794511043","url":"https:\/\/thevintagekitchenandgarden.com\/products\/haeger-pottery-planter-bowl-green-oval-ribbed-speckled-mid-century-usa-3938","provider":"The Vintage Kitchen \u0026 Garden","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
