1950s Ceramic Chipmunk Bud Vase
Meet your new desk companion. This little chipmunk is clutching an acorn and looking very pleased about it — classic 1950s anthropomorphic kitsch at its most charming. Use it as a bud vase for a single stem, a pen holder, or just let it sit there being adorable.
The Details
Hand-painted ceramic with warm earthy tones and expressive character. Maker unknown, but the craftsmanship and style are very much mid-century American or Japanese import — the kind of piece that turns up once and doesn't turn up again.
Style It Your Way
Perfect for a maximalist shelf, a nature-themed desk, or as a gift for the chipmunk enthusiast in your life. Pairs well with a single wildflower or a sprig of dried botanicals.
