Wheel-thrown Pioneer Dark stoneware | 6.25" diameter × 4.5" tall | Includes drainage holes and matching saucer | Oregon clay
This planter was wheel-thrown in my Portland studio from Pioneer Dark stoneware — a warm, iron-rich clay that has a gift for making glazes do things they weren't expecting. It's finished in Coyote Eggplant, a glaze that should, by any reasonable accounting, be purple. Instead it fired into something that looks like a Hubble photograph — sage green and dusty rose and soft lavender and warm gold drifting across the surface like cosmic dust, iridescent and shifting depending on where the light decides to land.
No two views of this planter are the same. Turn it slightly and the green deepens. Catch it in morning light and the rose comes forward. At dusk it does something else entirely. It is, in the most literal sense, a different object depending on when you look at it.
The saucer tells a quieter version of the same story — same glaze, horizontal surface, settling into something more matte and earthen, the way a sky becomes a landscape at the horizon line.
The interior is left unglazed — raw Pioneer Dark stoneware that breathes beautifully and keeps root systems healthy in a way a glazed interior simply can't. Drainage holes mean you can water properly and completely without guesswork.
At 6.25" wide and 4.5" tall this is a serious planter for a serious plant — generous enough for something with real presence, beautiful enough to be the most interesting thing in the room even when it's empty.
One of a kind. The Coyote Eggplant glaze fires differently every single time — this particular nebula will never exist again.
