These mini planters are at least 22 years old but were never used. Please see the provenance explanation below. 

They are super fun and also "rough around the edges". Expect imperfections and rough execution, for the complete derp image. They would have been sold at country fairs in Transylvania, Romania.

Note: The eyes-close ups (eyes are holes in the clay) may or may not belong to these 2 exact characters.

Always use an underplate with these planters, if used with water. Water may seep and stain the surface underneath. 

The larger planter measures approximately: 5" H x 4" W; Weight: 10.3oz.

The small planter measures approximately: 2.75" H x 2.5" W; Weight: 2.2oz.

There are only a few such pieces in our store (4 large & 6 small).

**** About the provenance of this item ****

This item is part of a group of hand made textiles, hand carved wood, hand blown glass, and hand made ceramics that was acquired about 23 years ago from Romania (most from the Transylvania region) for a store our family operated in Ohio. Eventually, the store closed, and all remaining merchandise ended up boxed up in storage in a relative's climate controlled warehouse, until our eBay store received them just recently. While we may have more than just one piece of a certain style, for the most part: 1. they will be only a few at best; 2. each of them will be unique; 3. once they are gone they cannot be replenished. All these items reflect, one way or another, some aspect of the Romanian cultural heritage - and its appreciation for the creativity, uniqueness, imperfections and charm of hand crafted wares over the monotony and volumes of the assembly lines.
