Vintage 1940s Hull Basket Lady Planter with Green Hat #954
{HISTORY}
Made by Hull Pottery in Crooksville, Ohio this vintage planter featuring a pretty garden girl with a large basket was made in the 1940s. Officially known as the Basket Lady planter #954, she came in a variety of different color combinations as far as her painted hat and ribbons including red, yellow, orange, blue, and green. This green version is a harder one to find these days.
Tall and statuesque, this planter measures 8.5" inches in height with a basket (aka planting area) that extends the entire width (7" inches) through the inside of her dress making her an ideal holder not only for plants but for fresh flowers too when utilized just like a shallow vase.
Stuffed full of mini garden design and potential, this garden girl looks great with succulents, potted herbs, forced bulbs, garden flower bouquets, and mini terrarium plants offering year-round appeal and an everpresent opportunity for creative indoor gardening.

{CONDITION}

Due to this chip's placement at the hem of her dress, it is barely noticeable and does not affect the planter's ability to sit securely on a tabletop. Please see photos.
