Hand Painted Crackle Glazed Elephant Vessel

$130.00

When you hear of an item being described as magical, you would have to be in the presence of this adorable, colourful and utterly delightful elephant. To look at him you can’t help but smile. He is, quite simply, joy.

Made of ceramic and hand painted, his bold and bright colours sit atop a crackled grey glaze which, when combined, bring a depth of individual character to this charming piece. He’s also hollow, with a wide opening at the top that begs for a little creativity and whilst you don’t have to fill him, imagine him carrying a dramatic succulent or a trailing green plant. He’s versatile, that’s for sure.

There is some age to him too, but just how old… well, he’s not giving away that secret. All I know is that if I had my way he’d be a piece for my own collection. He’s a hard one to let go of.

  • Height: 13cms
    Length: 17cms
    Vessel opening: 8cms by 6cms.

    Made of a solid ceramic with a crackled glaze and hand painted bold orange, blue, green and yellow pattern.
    He is not signed or marked.

  • Condition is excellent with no chips or obvious marks.

  • My first recommendation would be to place this elephant somewhere you see him often, the smiles are worth it.

    Whilst he wouldn’t be out of place as a decorative piece anywhere in the home, I can also see him on a kitchen window ledge holding up a uniquely shaped succulent or trailing plant.

    I’m also a big believer in using pieces like this on a dining table to add a pop of colour and quirk. He’d look brilliant as a centrepiece with a few bright flowers paired with some cheerful napery. What fun!
