Offering this vintage, monteith shaped (oval) hand-painted tole planter or jardinière. Chinoiserie decorated in rich shades of hunter green, brown and gold gilt. Round gold O-ring handles on either side. Likely of French origin but unmarked. Circa 1970s.

Purchased at a high-end Chicago estate with a large collection of Maitland Smith decorative items. Based on the quality and detail of painted decoration I suspect this piece is Maitland Smith but the paper sticker isn’t present so it’s being sold as unbranded.

Approximate Measurements: 11¾” L x 8¾” W x 7⅛” H

Condition: Excellent vintage condition. Little to no paint loss; no obvious dents, scratches or dings. No rust. Inside shows superficial scuffs.
