The figure of the mermaid, adorned in a soft pink hue, is beautifully sculpted with intricate details, from her flowing hair to her graceful pose. Her tail forms a shallow dish, perfect for holding small items like keys, coins, or even serving as an ashtray. The chalkware material gives the piece a nostalgic, handcrafted feel, adding a touch of retro elegance to any space. Ideal for collectors of vintage memorabilia or anyone looking to add a unique and delightful accent to their home, this mermaid catchall is a testament to mid-century design and creativity.
