I love hunting for treasures and finding bargains. I am very busy with three parents/in laws all in their 80s and the most wonderful six year old grandson with autism. Digging for vintage treasures is a little "me time" and I'm looking forward to sharing them with everyone through Secondhand Squad.
Vintage Blue & White Porcelain Bird Pomanders – Set of 2 – Possibly Ben Rickert
Add a little vintage charm and sweet nostalgia to your home with this delightful pair of blue-and-white porcelain bird pomanders!
These adorable birds feature rounded bodies, delicately molded wings and feathers, sweet little faces, and beautiful cobalt-blue accents against a soft, pale blue-white glazed finish.
Possible Ben Rickert Attribution:
These charming birds closely resemble vintage Ben Rickert porcelain bird pomanders associated with Japan, particularly in their distinctive shape, blue-and-white decoration, and ventilated design.
Although neither bird bears a manufacturer's mark or label, their appearance is consistent with examples attributed to Ben Rickert. We believe they may be from this collection but cannot confirm the maker.
More Than Just Pretty Birds!
Unlike ordinary bird figurines, these are functional decorative pomanders, designed to hold fragrant potpourri or scented material.
Each bird features a series of small ventilation holes along its back and tail, allowing fragrance to gently escape. Both retain their removable plastic stoppers underneath.
Perfect for displaying on a bedroom dresser, bathroom shelf, vanity, or nestled among your favorite vintage treasures.
