Blue and Tan Rutile Planter with Drainage

$45.00

This handmade ceramic planter has a dramatic, sculptural shape, with a deep cobalt blue glaze that contrasts beautifully with the lighter blue and earthy tones around the rim. The piece is wheel-thrown from Rods Bod clay and fired to cone 10 in reduction, creating a rich, layered finish that gives this planter plenty of character. Its flared opening and integrated drip catcher make it both a striking display piece and a functional home for your favorite plant.

Designed with drainage in mind, this planter has drainage holes and an attached drip catcher plate to collect excess water. It’s a lovely way to showcase a small houseplant while adding a splash of handmade color to a windowsill, shelf, or plant display.

Details
This planter stands 5.75" tall, and measures 5.75" across the lip. It's approximately 4.5" wide at the base. The interior depth is about 5.5", with the bottom 1.75" narrowed to create some height. The pot includes two drainage holes, each about the size of a large bean, which drain into the attached plate.

Use
This planter makes a beautiful addition to a sunny windowsill, desk, or bookshelf. It’s suitable for indoor or outdoor use, making it a great option for a patio or porch. It's well-suited for houseplants, succulents, cacti, or herbs.

Care
All of my pottery is dishwasher safe.

Process
This planter was made on my potter’s wheel using a dark stoneware clay called Rods Bod. A swirl was added to the wet form to give the shape movement and texture. A drainage galley was thrown around the bottom of the pot, and two drainage holes were added at the base. The entire exterior and saucer were glazed with my So Blue glaze, except for the rim. A pop of Rutile glaze was added to the rim, to create a swirl of tans, purples and blues. The interior is unglazed.

This piece was fired to Cone 10 in reduction at Desert Dragon Pottery in North Phoenix.
