Bird and Blossoms Mid-century Ceramic Wall Pocket Vase

Beautifully detailed ceramic wall pocket featuring a bird, perhaps a finch, in the garden with pink cherry blossoms

Popularized in the early years of the 20th century, between the world wars, figural wall pockets took form in many shapes and sizes.  Manufactured in the United States and imported from Europe during these years, wall pockets, or wall vases, held cut flowers or ivy stems for rooting. After the Second World War, imports from Japan became popular and remained popular throughout the 1950s and 1960s.

Glazed with a classic mid-century pink border, the wall pocket measures approximately 5" wide by 6" tall. This charming mid-century example has a lovely finish and realistic form, perfect for bringing the garden indoors and a bit of birdsong indoors!
