Wheel-thrown Pioneer Dark with Speckles stoneware | 6" diameter × 4.5" tall | Applied carved color block tabs | Fully glazed interior | Oregon clay
This one has opinions about color. Loud, cheerful, completely confident opinions.
This planter was wheel-thrown in my Portland studio from Pioneer Dark with Speckles — warm, iron-rich stoneware with non-toxic black glass frit speckles — and finished in Steel Grey Shine by Coyote Clay. That glaze does exactly what it promises: deep, glossy, near-black with a subtle warmth underneath, the kind of surface that makes everything applied to it look more intentional by contrast.
And then the tabs happened.
Four applied square tabs wrap the upper body of this planter, each one carved with its own dot texture and glazed in one of three Georgie's matte glazes — Chartreuse Matte, Blueberry Matte, and Cool Lime Matte. Matte against gloss. Bright against dark. Small against large. Each tab is its own little color block, its own tiny jewel set into the dark field — the ceramic equivalent of a statement accessory on a very good outfit.
The contrast between the glossy Steel Grey body and the matte tab glazes is deliberate and very satisfying. The speckles in the Pioneer Dark clay push through the Steel Grey in the spaces between, grounding all that intentional color play in something earthy and real.
The interior is fully glazed in Steel Grey — that same deep glossy surface wrapping the inside, making this planter as considered on the inside as the outside.
At 6" wide and 4.5" tall this is a serious planter with serious presence. Designed for a grow pot nestled inside — lift your plant out easily to water properly and check on root health without ceremony. No drainage holes needed.
It pairs beautifully with the Weathered Bronze Planter for someone that appreciates the applied-tab language in two completely different registers.
One of a kind. The tab glaze combination is unrepeatable — this particular color block exists only once.
