Circa: 1950-1958
Manufacturer: Yona Ceramics, Yona Lippen
Yona Ceramics of California was run by Yona Lippen and her husband Mac. Yona Lippen started her career as a Hedi Schoop decorator. She left to start her own business featuring the figurines so popular at the time which were called --- pretty ladies. Yona's figurines featured add-ons including ceramic bows, ribbons, and spaghetti spacking. After the popularity of the film The King and I, she abandoned the ladies in favor of Siamese themes. She often decorated these pieces with gold or silver overglaze. She closed her business in 1958.
This 8 inch long x 5 1/2 inch tall planter is typical of that period of design. It is glazed on the inside and the outside in a deep forest green. Gold overglaze is liberally applied over the ribbed surface of the outside of the planter. On the bottom the piece is signed in the same gold color YONA 323.
The planter is in excellent vintage condition and ready to grade your home. Add it to your California ceramics collection today.! |
