Dark Green Planter with Drainage Saucer

$38.00

This wheel thrown ceramic planter features a rich peacock green glaze and a rounded, gently ridged form that gives it a lovely sense of texture and dimension. Its fuller shape and glossy finish highlight the depth of the green glaze, creating a distinctive piece that feels both earthy and elegant.

Handmade in stoneware and fired to cone 6, this one-of-a-kind planter makes a beautiful home for a favorite houseplant. Its sculptural profile and rich green color also make it an attractive accent for a plant shelf, windowsill, or any space that could use a little handmade character.

Details
This planter stands about 4.5" tall and measures nearly 5.5" across the lip. It is 4.5" deep in the interior, with the bottom 1.5" inches narrowed. The base is approximately 4.25" across, and the interior is unglazed. Two drainage holes - each about the size of a fingertip - are built into the narrowed base to promote drainage. The planter includes a permanently attached drainage plate.

Use
This planter makes a beautiful addition to a sunny windowsill, desk, or bookshelf. It's suitable for indoor or outdoor use, and works well for small houseplants, succulents, cacti, or herbs.

Care
All of my pottery is microwave and dishwasher safe.

Process

This planter was made on my potter’s wheel using white cone 5 BMix clay. A rib was used to create the swirled ridge around the belly of the planter. A drainage galley was thrown around the bottom of the pot, and two drainage holes were added at the base.

After drying and bisque firing, the rim at the top, and attached saucer at the bottom, were first dipped in my Midnight Black glaze. Then the entire outter body of the pot was glazed in Peacock Green. The overlapping layers of black and green glaze add a rich, darker green variation at the top and bottom of the piece.
