Description
This ceramic planter takes the shape of Thor's hammer, its chunky faceted head lodged at an angle in a rocky base with the handle rising up beside the leaves, and it comes already planted with a faux succulent. The head is cut with bevelled edges and panelled sides, and the whole piece is finished in a soft cement grey with a fine, sandy texture that gives it the look of weathered rock. A scatter of small pebbles sits around the spiky green rosette, and the planter measures 27.1cm tall, 21.1cm wide and 12.1cm deep, a comfortable size for a shelf or desk.
Because the plant is faux, there is no watering, no feeding and no fretting over light, so it can bring a bit of green to spots where a real succulent would struggle, such as a dim corner of the study, a gaming desk or a bookcase in a bedroom. We think it looks especially good among film posters, comics and collectables, where the hammer reads instantly. It makes a fun, easy gift for a friend who loves Thor, and because it needs no watering, it suits someone who has never kept a plant alive for long.
The planter is made of ceramic, and the rocky base gives the tilted hammer a steady footing so it stands on its own without any support. The textured finish can gather a little dust over time, so run a soft dry cloth or a soft brush over the planter and the leaves now and then to keep the grey looking fresh and the green bright. As with any ceramic piece, handle it with care and set it down gently, since a knock against a hard surface can chip the edges. For gifting, it needs nothing more than a bow or a sheet of tissue, and once it is home it is ready to go straight onto the shelf.
