Hull Pottery Swan Planter Trinket Dish

This is exactly the sort of piece my mom would have rescued because "someone needs to love it again."

Hull Pottery always had a talent for making everyday objects feel playful, and this graceful pink swan is no exception. Whether it originally held a tiny houseplant, served as an ashtray during card games, or caught rings on someone's vanity, it's impossible not to smile when you see it.

Today it makes a wonderful succulent planter, jewelry holder, candy dish, or simply a cheerful piece of vintage décor that adds a little color to a shelf.

The best antiques don't have to be serious. Sometimes they just make a room happier.
