Robins Egg Blue Planter with Attached Drainage Plate
Robins Egg Blue Planter with Attached Drainage Plate
Bring a touch of color and charm to your space with this handmade planter in glossy robin’s egg blue. Its soft 'robins egg' green-blue glaze and rounded, textured form add a cheerful accent to any shelf, windowsill, or outdoor garden nook. The subtle white slip texture beneath the glaze gives the surface a lively depth that catches the light beautifully.
Details
This planter stands 4.5" tall and 5.5" wide at the lip. It's inner depth is 4.25", with the bottom 1.25" narrowed. The base is about 4 1/4" wide, and the interior of the planter is unglazed. Two drainage holes – each about the size of my fingertip – are built into the narrowed base to promote healthy drainage.
Use
Perfect for a house plant,, succulent, or herb, this planter brightens up any indoor space and works beautifully outdoors as well. Its integrated drainage plate makes it easy to care for your plants while keeping surfaces tidy.
Process
This planter was made on my potter’s wheel using cone 5 B-Mix, a white stoneware clay. A textured layer of slip (a mix of clay and water) was applied with a jagged brush to create the soft slip ridges. The form was finished with a dip of white glaze over the lip of the planter, followed by a glossy robins egg blue glaze over the exterior, up to just below the lip. The piece was fired to Cone 6 in my electric kiln, at my studio in Avondale Arizona.










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.
