Know before you buy
While it is designed as a standard pot, it does not feature a drainage hole. We recommend using it as a cachepot by placing a plastic nursery liner inside to protect the ceramic and manage water.
The Blue & Gold Monteith Planter measures 14.625 inches in diameter and stands 10.5 inches tall, making it a substantial piece for floor display.
This piece is specifically intended for indoor use. Exposure to harsh outdoor elements and temperature fluctuations may compromise the glazed finish and the integrity of the ceramic.
To preserve the gold chrysanthemum design, clean the planter by gently wiping it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners that could scratch or dull the glazed surface.
The Monteith style is a traditional design characterized by a scalloped or notched rim. Originally used in the 18th century to chill glasses, this aesthetic now serves as a sophisticated, historical silhouette for decorative planters.
