Affiti Large Clay Planter - Antique Grey

The large Affiti planter is a wide clay bowl, 40cm tall and 50cm across, narrowing to an opening of 43cm. The wall lifts from a small flat base in a single curve out to the widest point and then turns in a little at the rim. The outer surface is grey with green and darker patches showing through it, and the clay inside the rim stays a paler, warmer tone.

This is the largest of the Affiti planters. At 50cm across it takes a plant with spread to it, such as a tall spiky grass. On its own it works at the foot of a wall, on a terrace or beside a door. It is listed as suitable for outdoor use.
