Wheel-thrown Trailmix Dark Chocolate stoneware | 5" diameter × 3.5" tall | Dark micro paracord hanger | Oregon clay
Some glazes land where they will. This one was guided.
This hanging planter was wheel-thrown in my Portland studio from Trailmix Dark Chocolate stoneware — a deep, near-black clay that holds its darkness even under glaze, and gives everything applied to it a particular seriousness. The Satin Oribe glaze was applied deliberately, sweeping up from the base in rounded arcs that meet the dark clay at the rim in a line that looks less like a dip and more like something opening. A petal. A tide line. A shoreline seen from above at the moment the water pulls back.
The glaze itself — soft sage and dusty blue-green, slightly matte, slightly luminous — sits quietly against the dark body, letting the contrast do the talking. Where it meets the clay at the rim the edge is soft and slightly irregular, the way any honest boundary between two things tends to be.
Larger than the Shoreline planter and rounder in form, the Cove has a different energy — more sheltered, more gathered, more like a place water finds its way to and stays. Same glaze, same clay, completely different conversation.
The hanger is braided dark micro paracord, twisted by hand to complement the depth of the Trailmix Dark Chocolate clay body.
At 5" wide and 3.5" tall it's the right size for a compact trailing plant, a small fern with good instincts, or an air plant that appreciates a vessel with a sense of place.
A note on how this is made: The interior is intentionally left unglazed — raw stoneware breathes in a way glazed clay simply can't, and your plant roots will thank you for it. There are no drainage holes, because this planter is designed to be used with a grow pot nestled inside. Slip your plant in its nursery pot, hang it up, and lift it out easily to water properly and check on root health without ceremony or mess. The bottom is finished with as much care as the outside — smooth, clean, and beautiful — because when something hangs overhead, the view from below matters just as much as the view from across the room.
One of a kind. The Satin Oribe sweeps differently across every surface — this particular cove exists only once.
