Wheel-thrown stoneware | 5" diameter × 3" tall | Chocolate clay body | Micro paracord hanger | Oregon clay
Some planters hold plants. This one holds court.
This hanging planter was wheel-thrown in my Portland studio from a rich chocolate stoneware clay, then finished in a thin wash of Satin Oribe glaze that does something entirely unexpected on a dark body — shifting from mossy sage to warm olive gold depending on where the light decides to land. It is the color of lichen on a wet stone, of aged copper left to its own devices, of a forest floor in October. It is, in short, exactly the green the Pacific Northwest would be if the Pacific Northwest were a glaze.
The rim is hand-carved into a petal scallop — the only one in the hanging planter series to wear this detail — each curve cut by hand and slightly different from the last. It is not a subtle flourish. It does not apologize for itself.
The hanger is braided micro paracord, chosen and twisted by hand to complement the earthy warmth of the glaze. Hang it in a bright window, fill it with a trailing plant that has ambitions, and watch it become the thing everyone asks about.
At 5" wide and 3" tall it's ideal for small trailing plants, compact succulents, air plants with good posture, and anything else that deserves to be seen from below.
One of a kind. The petal rim carving makes this the singular piece in the hanging planter series — there is no other quite like it.
********
A note on how these are 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 these are designed to be used with a grow pot nestled inside. Slip your plant in its nursery pot, hang it up, and you can lift it out easily to water properly and check on root health without ceremony or mess.
The bottom of each planter 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.
