Ribbed Cracked Egg Shell Ceramic Planter Set of 2 - White

This pair of ribbed ceramic planters is shaped like cracked egg shells, each with a jagged, broken-open rim that looks as if a chick has just pecked its way out. The set holds two pots in two sizes, one noticeably larger than the other, so they sit together as a natural pair. Fine vertical ribs run from the rounded base right up to the zigzag edge, and the white glaze has a soft sheen, with a gentle speckle showing along the ribs that keeps the finish from looking flat. Both share the same rounded egg form, so they look like one set wherever you place them.

We like these planters on a bright kitchen windowsill, along a bookshelf or at the centre of the Easter table. They suit small plants: a little succulent, a pot of fresh herbs, a few spring bulbs such as crocus or miniature daffodils, or a sowing of cress, which feels especially fitting growing out of an egg shell. Grouped together they make a fresh centrepiece for Easter lunch, and once the holiday has passed they carry on looking at home, since the plain white ribbed finish sits easily alongside most kitchens and living rooms. As an Easter gift they offer something that lasts longer than chocolate.

Each planter is made of ceramic with a glazed finish inside and out, and sits on a small flat base so it stands steadily on a shelf or sill. To keep them looking fresh, dust with a soft dry cloth and wipe with a damp cloth when needed, then dry them off. Many people like to slip a plant inside in its plastic nursery pot, which makes watering easy and lets you swap plants as the seasons change. For a gift, we suggest planting both with cress or small bulbs before wrapping, so the gift is ready to grow once unwrapped.
