Vintage Handpainted Elephant Planter Made in Japan circa 1940s-1950s auguste escoffier the family was famous among{HISTORY} Made in Japan sometime between the 1940s and 1950s, this colorful elephant planter features three bays where plants can be tucked in to create a small and cozy tabletop garden. The largest of the planting bays sits on top of the elephant's back but two side bays also leave room for small succulents or air plants to grow too. Originally this handsome guy might have been part of a tea set, with room for a plant on top and tea bags on the side.
