Vintage Japanese Lamb Planter / Nursery Vase (c.1950s–60s)

The sweetest little lamb, resting gently beside a tiny planter — the kind of piece that feels like it’s come straight from a childhood shelf. 

Made in Japan in the mid-century period, this charming figural planter features soft pink tones, hand-painted floral details, and a glossy finish that catches the light beautifully. The lamb’s gentle expression and delicate bow add to its nostalgic appeal.

Perfect for a small plant, dried flowers, or simply styled as a decorative piece in a nursery, bedroom, or vintage vignette.
