Ardalt Planter Decorated with Birds & Flowers

Mid 20th Century/Japan

Ardalt is a brand name associated with decorative porcelain, often produced in Japan during the mid-20th century. These pieces were typically designed for the export market, featuring hand-painted or transfer-printed decorations, often with floral or avian themes. The quality can range from simple decorative items to more finely crafted pieces, depending on the specific production period and intended market.

This type of porcelain planter, with its ornate bird and floral design and gilded rim, exemplifies the popular decorative styles of the mid-20th century. Such items were commonly used as accent pieces in homes, adding a touch of color and artistry. While not always marked with a specific factory, the "Ardalt" designation often indicates a Japanese origin and a focus on decorative appeal. The number '7189' likely refers to the specific mold or pattern used for this piece.
