Description
This is a tall ceramic planter finished in a deep black glaze, with an etched pattern worked into the surface and a single handle set to one side. The ceramic body has a smooth, slightly reflective finish that catches the light, while the carved detailing gives the exterior texture and a little shadow across the day. Standing 24cm tall and 27cm across, it holds a good amount of soil and suits a medium houseplant or a small potted shrub.
We like this planter in a hallway, on a kitchen windowsill or grouped with others on a shelf, where the black glaze reads well against pale walls and natural wood. The handle makes it easy to lift and turn, so you can move it towards the light or shift it for cleaning without disturbing the plant. Trailing ivy or a leafy fern softens the straight sides, while an upright succulent keeps the look neat. Pair it with our other planters in varying heights for a considered arrangement on a sideboard or windowsill.
The opening is wide enough to drop in a standard plastic nursery liner, which is the tidiest way to plant up and to manage watering. If you prefer to plant directly, add a layer of gravel at the base for drainage, as the ceramic holds water rather than letting it pass through. Wipe the glazed surface with a damp cloth to lift dust and the odd watermark. Keep it indoors and away from frost, and empty any standing water so roots do not sit wet.
