VINTAGE BOSTON WAREHOUSE CATERPILLAR PLANTER | WHIMSICAL BLACK CERAMIC INSECT POT | MODERN NOVELTY DECOR

A sculptural vintage ceramic caterpillar planter designed by Boston Warehouse, featuring a sleek black glaze and playful late-20th-century form. With its rounded segmented body, applied eyes, and antennae, this whimsical piece balances humor and modern design — perfect for collectors of novelty décor and eclectic interiors.
