Napco's early baby bootee planter is sculpted with a realism and softness rarely seen in nursery ceramics — a testament to genuine craft, not mass production.
Condition: Good vintage condition — one hairline crack along the bootee side, not deep, priced accordingly; no chips or discoloration. Please review photos closely before purchasing, as all sales are final.
A treasured addition to a nursery planter collection, or a meaningful baby shower gift with a tiny plant tucked inside. One of a kind in the truest sense.
This piece likely predates Napco's postwar shift to Japanese imports, and the original foil label outline is still visible on the base alongside the model number S136A — the mark of an early, American-made piece from a company that would go on to become one of the most collected names in mid-century ceramics. Collectors of Napco, Inarco, Relpo, and Rubens have driven prices for these early pieces well into the hundreds; this one's hairline crack places it at a far gentler price point without diminishing its beauty or rarity.
