Description
This highland cow planter shows a shaggy little cow in blue dungarees leaning over a cracked pot that has tipped onto its side, with the pot's open mouth ready for a small plant. We love the detail: tufted brown fur, curved horns, a pink and a yellow flower tucked between them, and a blue butterfly resting on the rim. Around the base, green leaves and pink and yellow blooms climb up from a bed of grey stones, so the spring theme runs all the way round. It is made from polystone resin in warm browns with touches of many colours, and stands about 21.5cm tall, 13.7cm wide and 14.2cm deep.
At that size it sits happily on a windowsill, a kitchen shelf, a sideboard or a bedside table, bringing a touch of countryside charm without taking up much room. The tipped pot suits a small plant, such as a compact trailing fern, a succulent or a sprig of herbs in its own pot. A faux plant works well if you would rather skip the watering altogether. Left empty, it still works as a characterful ornament on a bookshelf. With its sweet expression and spring flowers, it makes a cheerful gift.
Polystone is a resin that takes fine detail well, which is why the fur, the stitching on the dungarees and the cracks in the pot look so crisp. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth and wipe away any marks or stray soil with a damp cloth. For a living plant, we suggest leaving it in a small inner pot and lifting it out to water, so the planter stays clean and your furniture stays dry. Set it among spring flowers on the table, or let a trailing plant spill from the pot for the fullest effect.
