I can find no marks, so this is being listed as «attributed to» paul mccobb. There are scratches and scuffs commensurate with use and age. There is also a break in the top rim flat. It has been glued. And i don’t feel like it takes from the planter (see last image). I have seen this planter come up for sale a couple of times in the last 25 years. It has always had corrosion and holes and the shape of the trumpet bowl has been deformed and dented. There is a small dent at base of planter bowl, but not noticeable unless you are looking for it: it is hard to photograph, but it is visible in the third image. I have waxed this over the years to protect the metal. That liner is included in the sale. Please use it to keep protecting the planter. Really striking, beautiful and immenently architectural planter after paul mccobb (see second-to-last image for him and more information is below). What a beautiful profile. Please see second image for dimensions. (from: en. Wikipedia. Org/wiki/Paul_McCobb). Paul mcmobb (june 5, 1917 – March 10, 1969) was a modern furniture and industrial designer.

Mccobb’s other well-known furniture lines include predictor by o’hearn furniture, the calvin group by calvin furniture, directional by calvin furniture, the irwin group by calvin furniture, and the connoisseur collection by h.
