Can use as a planter or for Nursery supplies. NAPCO is the acronym of the National Potteries Corporation, which was founded in 1938 in Bedford, Ohio, but in the 1970s it was listed as being located in Cleveland. NAPCO imported from Japan a variety of novelty & giftware items mostly made from either ceramic or glass, but later wooden items were also imported. in the 1940s, Irwin Garber joined the company & is said to have been instrumental in the development of the head vase planters that became very popular items with florists & low-end retailers in the ’50s & ’60s. Garber left NAPCO, & in 1960 or ‘61 founded INARCO or International Artware Corporation in Cleveland. It is said Garber designed many of the head vases that were subsequently made in Japan, & that his wife sometimes served as the model & inspiration. Eventually, NAPCO absorbed INARCO & relocated the firm to Jacksonville, Fla., in the mid-’80s.
