{"product_id":"vintage-hand-painted-tole-planter","title":"Vintage Hand-Painted Tole Planter, Small","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis little tole planter wears its decoration entirely by hand, grape leaves and clusters painted in warm gold and amber across a green ground. Brass lion masks hold ring handles on either side, and a pierced gilt gallery rings the top, a detail meant to let air reach whatever was growing inside. It has clearly done real work in a garden room somewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Dimensions | \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e7.25 in. H x 5.75 in.

The interior wall and base show significant rust, with paint flaking away to expose bare metal across a wide area of the interior bottom and lower interior wall. The exterior base shows the same rust bleeding through chipped paint. All three feet have paint loss at the tips, revealing a lighter metal underneath the green overpaint, wear rather than a repair as far as I can tell from photographs. The exterior body presents well otherwise, with the hand-painted decoration, gilt gallery, and brass ring handles intact and legible, showing only light surface wear consistent with age.  Please review all photographs closely, as they form part of this description.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Austyn Marie Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51821623443734,"sku":"AMD-13716","price":100.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/4623\/5926\/files\/Belgium_France_Container_Inventory-10798.jpg?v=1788459474","url":"https:\/\/austyn-marie.myshopify.com\/products\/vintage-hand-painted-tole-planter","provider":"Austyn Marie Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
