Wheel-thrown stoneware | approximately 5" diameter × 3" tall | Micro paracord hanger | Oregon clay
Round, quiet, and completely confident about it.
This hanging planter was wheel-thrown in my Portland studio from Pioneer Dark stoneware — and then glazed only halfway, letting the warm brown clay have its say at the rim. The result is a two-tone effect that looks less like a glaze decision and more like something that happened naturally over time, the way copper turns and wood weathers and good things age into themselves.
The lower body is finished in Weathered Bronze, a glaze originally developed at the Flint Institute of Art and gifted to me by my mother — at full saturation it turns a turquoise so intense it could be sky over high desert at noon. This batch came out differently. I pulled these three from the glaze bucket a little early, so what came out of the kiln is softer: sun-worn, faded at the edges, like paint that's spent a long summer outside. The clay shows through at the rim in that same quiet way, bronze going gentle into green.
No carving here. No flourish. Just an exceptionally well-thrown form with a glaze story that does all the talking.
The hanger is braided micro paracord, twisted by hand to complement the earthy warmth of the clay body.
At approximately 5" wide and 3" tall — every piece is individually thrown, so dimensions vary slightly — it's the perfect size for a Pilea, a compact pothos, a small fern with good manners, or whatever plant in your life appreciates a vessel with restraint and good bones.
This one came up from the wheel alongside two siblings, same clay and same early pull, each one settling into its own particular line where bronze fades into green. No two are ever exactly alike with this glaze — these three less so than most. Sold individually.
One of a kind. The glaze line where Weathered Bronze meets Pioneer Dark clay is unique to this piece — no two will ever land in exactly the same 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.
