Vintage Japan Ceramic Frog Planter Open Mouth Yellow Hat Bow Tie Mottled Green

This is a vintage Japanese ceramic frog planter, almost certainly by Inarco — one of the mid-century Japanese importers beloved for their whimsical, hand-painted figural pieces that showed up in dime stores and gift shops across America in the 1950s and 60s. The mottled green glaze, the open-mouthed vessel form, the painted-on personality — this is classic Inarco character work at its best. ✦ The Details Likely Inarco Japan — confirm item number on bottom Mid-20th century, approximately 1950s–1960s Made in Japan Hand-painted ceramic Mottled dark and light green glaze with white underbelly Yellow hat with painted detail, yellow bow tie, pink throat Open mouth forms the planter/vase opening Approximately 5 tall x 7 wide No chips, cracks, or repairs noted — excellent vintage condition
