Abingdon Pottery White Vitreous China Sleeping Mexican & Cactus Planter Vase

Description

This auction is for a pair of Vintage Abingdon Pottery planters.  Authentic Abingdon Pottery is evidenced by the high quality of the clay; heavy, dense, white, vitreous china- finished with great attention to quality and detail.  The planters were made from 1934 to 1950.  They show a guy leaning against a cactus plant taking a nap.  They are really cute.  They make great bookends.
The planters measure approximately 6-1/2" tall, 7-1/4" long, and 4" wide.  They weigh just over 2 pounds each.  They are marked on the bottom "Abingdon U.S.A." in a blue rectangle,  the number "616" and an incised "H".
I found one chip on the toe of one of the guys.  It could be repaired.  The inside of the pots are worn.  they were used as planters.  I cleaned off as much dirt as I could.  This is an "As-Is" auction so please see all photos and feel free to ask questions.
