Rustic Garden Planters

Many of these wares are made without even a potter’s wheel; the potter moving round a stationary piece with hands perfectly poised to create and hold a symmetrical shape. 

Their rough texture, simplicity and earthy tones add a base note to the garden. 

Most rustic garden planters are fired in wood kilns, at a high temperature, often with a burnished finish.  The high temperature at which they are fired is responsible for their dark chocolate brown hues.

Many are orginally made  as water storage jars, or to hold fish, but nonetheless easily lend themselves to growing plants.
