Rare doesn't begin to cover it. This Napcoware doctor planter — complete with stethoscope, head mirror, white coat, and black bag — is the kind of piece serious collectors hunt for years. The rectangular planter in front bears the Red Cross emblem; the doctor himself stands ready, rendered with Napco's characteristic attention to detail and hand-painted finish.
The original Napco foil sticker reads "Napcoware Potteries Co., Cleveland, Ohio, Made in Japan," and the model number 06114 is stamped on the base. Condition is excellent — no chips, no discoloration. Comparable Napco, Inarco, Relpo, and Rubens figural planters regularly sell at auction for well over $100; this one is priced to find the right home.
An exceptional gift for a doctor or medical professional, a standout get-well gesture, or a prized addition to any mid-century ceramics collection.
Maker: Napcoware (National Potteries Corp), Made in Japan
