These low-profile vessels feature a crisp Greek Key (meander) border along the rim, beautifully contrasted by high-relief grapevine and cluster motifs on the body.

The aged cream finish has developed a wonderful "shabby chic" patina, with authentic weathering and minor paint loss that highlights the textural details of the cast stone. With a wide 18-inch diameter, these cistern-style planters are perfect for substantial garden displays or as a pair of grand architectural statements flanking a staircase or patio entrance.

Period: Mid-20th Century
Materials: Cast Stone, Concrete
Condition: Good vintage condition. Features a natural, weathered patina with "chippy" paint. Structurally sound with heavy-weight construction.

Dimensions: Approx. 10" H x 18" Diameter.

While they are shorter than our Campana urns, the 18-inch width makes them "Monumental". Large-diameter planters are harder to find and highly sought after for their planting capacity.
Perhaps a companion set to the Campana urns as they are a co-ordinated set both from the Asheville Estate. Purchase both pairs to create a tiered, "provenance-matched" garden design. See less
