Description

Vintage Ceramic Hippo Figurine — 12" Tan Glazed, Felt Feet

This whimsical mid-century ceramic hippo figurine features a smooth, glossy tan glaze and a charmingly stylized silhouette. Measuring 12 inches in length, this unmarked piece is typical of decorative ceramics from the 1950s–70s, blending minimalist form with subtle personality.

Crafted from ceramic and resting on green felt feet, it was clearly designed for tabletop display—protecting surfaces while adding playful character to any space. The soft, rounded design and warm glaze are consistent with the era’s modernist aesthetic, making it a delightful accent for retro, eclectic, or contemporary interiors.

Unmarked on the base, the figure shows similarities to known mid-century European and American decorative pottery.

Condition:
In good condition, with no chips, cracks, or repairs. The glaze is intact, and original felt pads remain affixed. Minor wear consistent with age.

Dimensions:
Overall: 12 x 6 x 6 inches (Height x Width x Depth)
