Those long distinctive lashes, the hand-painted floral details on her gown and in her hair, the softness of the whole piece — this DeLee Art Co eyelash girl figurine planter is the kind of thing that gets passed down. Made in Hollywood, California, and increasingly sought after by vintage enthusiasts and California Pottery collectors, she works as a planter, cachepot, vase, scissors holder, or pencil cup — graceful in any of those roles. Crazing throughout is consistent with age; no chips, cracks, or color loss, and very clean inside.
DeLee Art Co was founded in 1937 by Jimmie Lee Stewart in Los Angeles — one of the smaller, now beloved names in California Pottery history. Her style was warm and whimsical, and pieces like this are why collectors have been seeking her work out ever since the company closed in 1958.
A beautiful gift for a California Pottery collector, a vintage home décor lover, or anyone who appreciates the charm of handmade American craft.
