Green and Midnight Swirl Planter with Drainage
Green and Midnight Swirl Planter with Drainage
This handmade ceramic planter has a rich, moody color combination of peacock green and midnight blue, with a glossy finish that shifts between deep teal and blue-black. Its gently flared, swirling form gives the piece a sense of movement, while the subtle variations in color add depth and character.
Wheel-thrown in stoneware and fired to cone 6, this one-of-a-kind planter makes a striking home for a favorite houseplant. Its sculptural shape and jewel-toned glaze also make it an attractive accent for a plant shelf, windowsill, or any spot that could use a little color and handmade character.
Details
Measuring approximately 4.5" tall and 5.5" across the lip. The planter is 4.75" deep on 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
Ideal for small-medium sized houseplants or succulents, this planter offers both function and style. Its built-in drainage ensures healthy roots while keeping tabletops and shelves dry.
Process
This planter was thrown on my potter's wheel using white BMix Cone 5 clay. While still soft on the wheel, I pressed a swirl shape into the sides using a rib tool, while gently supporting the inner wall with my fingers.
The white stoneware body is layered with a deep green glaze that accentuates the piece’s gentle spiral form. Fired to cone 6 (around 2200° F) for strength and durability.













This one-of-a-kind wood fired mug combines rich purple glaze with a deeply textured brown surface, creating a beautiful contrast between glossy color and earthy texture. The organic, ridged surface gives the mug a tactile quality that makes it especially enjoyable to hold, while the deep blue-purple glaze adds a bold pop of color around the upper portion.
At approximately 12 ounces, this mug is a comfortable size for coffee, tea, or your favorite everyday drink. Like all of my pottery, it is made by hand and designed to be both beautiful and functional.
Details
The mug stands around 4.75 inches tall, and just over 3 inches across the lip. They hold around 12 ounces, and all of my pottery is microwave and dishwasher safe.
Use
Perfect for your morning coffee or afternoon tea. The slip textured body and generous handle make these mugs comfortable to hold and a joy to use. These mugs have a narrowed neck that will to help keep the heat inside your cup.
