Enchanting lady figurine planters were promoted heavily by florists
and five-and-dime stores, becoming a gift-giver's favorite during
the 1950s and '60s. These lovely ladies were produced mainly in
Japan, targeted for the U.S. market, and most commonly adorned with
colorful plastic flowers. Today they are rapidly gaining popularity
on the ceramics collectibles market. These planters have made
limited appearances in head vase and figural planter books, but
here, finally, is a comprehensive guide devoted specifically to
this fascinating collectible. It focuses on Japanese-manufactured
products and features over 350 color photographs of more than 700
planters. Individual captions describe each planter's height, mark,
and estimates current market value. Also included is a review of
planter production techniques and the various ways they were
identified and numbered. As an added bonus, a handy cross-reference
provides an easy way for specialty collectors to find their
favorite importer such as Lefton, Relpo, or Enesco. Featuring a
wonderful variety of planters, from festively painted Christmas
ladies to nursery rhyme characters and Valentine sweethearts, this
carefully crafted book provides collectors and dealers with a
superb reference.
