Measuring an impressive 8.5" tall and 13" in diameter, they are both sculptural and functional, with an integrated saucer base for practical planting. Image these lining a pool, surrounding a fountain, lining a walkway or drive.

The undulating rim evokes organic, floral forms, while the glaze shows beautiful tonal variation and light crackling consistent with vintage earthenware. The color variations, from bubble gum pink to salmon, reinforce their rustic Mediterranean provenance. Their bold yet natural look makes a statement in Hollywood Regency, Palm Beach and Palm Springs Regency, Coastal Mediterranean, and California casual settings.

In the spirit of mid-20th century American studio pottery and California makers such as Bauer, Gladding-McBean, Garden City Pottery, and Heath Ceramics, this planter combines utility with expressive handcraft. The ruffled edge also recalls the organic modernism of Edmund Ronaky and other mid-century studio artisans.
