Blue Green and White Handmade Ceramic Planter
Blue Green and White Handmade Ceramic Planter
Bring some artistic cheer to your space with this handcrafted ceramic planter.Measuring approximately 5 inches wide at the lip, this pretty pot is perfect for a small plant or succulent. Built-in drainage holes help keep your plants well-drained and happy, while the attached saucer keeps the surrounding space clean and dry.
This handsome planter is glazed in a deep teal blue with a band of white glaze around the rim and an unglazed interior. The combination of blue-green and white is striking and pairs beautifully with green foliage. The form tapers slightly at the base and rests on a tall foot, giving the piece a bit of lift and added stability.

Process
This planter was made on my potter’s wheel using a stoneware clay. 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 Blue Green glaze, except for the rim. A pop of white glaze was added around the rim, the stoneware clay showing through the white glaze in speckles. The interior is unglazed.
This piece was fired to Cone 10 in reduction at Desert Dragon Pottery in North Phoenix.
