Deep Blue Planter with Attached Drainage Plate
Deep Blue Planter with Attached Drainage Plate
This Deep Blue Planter has a bright and bold look; it could work well indoors or out. It's perfect for a patio or balcony, or inside on a counter or a desk. The bold royal blue glaze will make a lovely backdrop for a succulent or any leafy green plant.
This little planter stands 4.25" tall, and its about 5" wide at the lip. The belly of the pot flares out just slightly wider than the lip, and has a sharp swirl mark that adds some shape and interest to the piece. At the base, it's about 4.5" across the bottom. It has 2 drainage holes in the bottom, about the size of a bean, which drain into the attached drainage galley.
The planter narrows a bit at the bottom (above the base), and I would suggest filling in that bottom section with rocks to encourage good drainage.
This piece was thrown on my potters wheel using cone 5 Bmix clay. The outer piece and rim was glazed in my True Blue glaze, and the inside of the planter was left bare. The piece was fired to cone 6 in my electric kiln.
