Limestone Planter

A limestone planter with a tapered body, a deeply pitted surface and an octagonal collar around the rim, cut with repeating pointed arches and floral medallions. The ornament at the top plays against the raw, rough body below. The stone is pale dove gray and ashen white, with natural fissures running across the exterior and charcoal shadow settling into the crevices.

It stands 29 inches high and measures 26 inches across the collar, with an inner opening of 18 inches, so the basin is deep enough for a real root ball. It is heavy and travels on a pallet; we can drill a drain hole before it leaves the yard if it does not already have one.

A planter of this size takes a small citrus tree, a clipped topiary, ferns or trailing ivy, and it suits a courtyard, a patio, a conservatory or the side of a front door, against terracotta, brick, steel or smooth plaster. The limestone planter is in Marina Del Rey; come and see it, or ask us for more photographs and a delivered price.
