A classically shaped stoneware urn with a reactive glaze, which means no two pieces come out of the kiln looking quite the same. Fired at high temperature, so the body is dense rather than porous.

Key features

Reactive glaze with natural variation between pieces
Traditional urn silhouette with a flared rim
Drainage hole in the base
Substantial weight that resists tipping

Materials

High-fired glazed stoneware. Because it is fired hot, the clay body absorbs far less water than terracotta, which is what reduces the risk of frost damage.

Intended use

Focal planting on terraces, at the top of steps, or flanking a path. Works equally well planted or standing empty as a garden ornament.

Assembly

None required.

Care

Raise on pot feet over winter and avoid leaving it waterlogged in freezing conditions. Handle by the body rather than the rim when moving.

What's included

One glazed stoneware urn planter.

Not included

Plants, compost, saucer, and pot feet are sold separately. Glaze tone and crazing vary between pieces — this is characteristic of reactive glazes, not a fault.
