Simple, sculptural, and timeless—this vintage McCoy Econoline planter (shape 502) in a creamy matte ivory glaze is a quiet showstopper. With its flared, ribbed form and minimalist design, this piece brings effortless elegance to any vignette. A wonderful example of mid-century utilitarian pottery that still feels fresh and modern today.
Why I Chose This Piece
I’m always on the lookout for pieces that balance simplicity with presence—and this one does exactly that. The flared lip and vertical ribbing feel architectural, while the soft matte glaze brings a sense of calm. It’s the kind of piece that quietly elevates a shelf or table without demanding the spotlight.
