Wheel-thrown speckled stoneware | 6" diameter × 4" tall | Micro paracord hanger | Oregon clay
This one didn't come quietly.
Wheel-thrown in my Portland studio from speckled Oregon stoneware clay, this planter is finished in Riptide — a warm chartreuse-gold glaze that pools into the carved valleys in flashes of pale turquoise, like light hitting shallow water over a rocky bed. The speckle in the clay pushes through the glaze like sediment, like depth, like something that has been underwater for a very long time and is absolutely fine with that.
The lower half is hand-carved with a dense field of dots and drips — a pattern that took its time and shows it. Up close it reads like coral. From across the room it reads like texture you want to touch. From below, which is how you'll mostly see it, it reads like a small miracle suspended from your ceiling.
The hanger is braided dark micro paracord, twisted by hand to complement the earthy warmth of the glaze.
At 6" wide and 4" tall this is the generous one — room enough for a trailing pothos with actual ambitions, a bold fern, or whatever plant in your life has been waiting for a pot worthy of it.
One of a kind. The carved pattern wraps the entire body and no two marks are identical.
*********
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.
