Marie Antoinette Style Lady Head Vase Planter with Glitter Detail
Unbranded (Likely contemporary decor manufacturer like Roost or an import giftware brand) · Art & Decor > Home Decor
Era / Decade
2010s-2020s (Modern reproduction based on the paint style, glitter application, and resin molding)
Material
Cast Resin (Composite plastic/stone powder mix). The heavy reliance on glitter and the specific matte finish of the skin tone indicates resin rather than vintage ceramic.
Condition
Good to Very Good. The structure is sound, but there is visible glue residue and unevenness in the glitter application. The artificial flowers appear dusty and may be glued in.
Demand Level
Moderate. Lady head vases are always collectible, but vintage ceramic versions (1950s) command much higher prices than resin reproductions like this one.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$20.00 - $45.00
Estimated Retail Value

Comparable Sales
Similar resin bust planters sell on Amazon and Wayfair for $40-$60 new. Pre-owned resin versions on eBay typically settle between $25 and $35 depending on shipping costs.
Description
Stunning Marie Antoinette-inspired lady head vase planter. This decorative bust features an intricate high-poupée hairstyle in silver/grey, accented with iridescent glitter. She is modeled with classic features, blue eyes, and a red sash. The top is open to hold flowers or succulents. Approximately 10-12 inches tall. Perfect for Shabby Chic, Rococo, or maximalist decor styles.
Key Features
Marie Antoinette/French Regency theme is highly popular in 'Coquette' and 'Grandmillennial' decor trends. Functional as a planter or a standalone bust. Glitter accents add a whimsical, modern touch.
Authenticity Indicators
Modern mass-market item. Lack of kiln-firing marks or bottom stamps suggests resin rather than vintage pottery. Confidence in identification as a modern reproduction: High.
Flaws to Note
Glue residue near the hairline; glitter shedding; small scuff on the right shoulder area; the artificial flowers currently inside appear dated/sub-par quality and should probably be removed before sale.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace for local sale (fragile to ship); Etsy (if marketed as 'shabby chic' style); Mercari.
Selling Tips
Remove the dusty plastic flowers and replace them with higher-quality silk roses or leave empty to showcase the planter function. Use keywords like 'Regencycore', 'Bust Planter', 'Marie Antoinette', and 'Shabby Chic'. Highlight that it is a resin bust, which is more durable than ceramic.
