Know before you buy
Yes. Because the planter is high-fired at temperatures up to 1000 degrees centigrade, it is exceptionally frost-resistant and designed to withstand harsh outdoor weather conditions year-round.
The Sistina Planter weighs 104 lbs. Given its substantial weight and 25-inch width, we recommend having two people assist with placement to ensure it is positioned safely.
The glazed finish is created by baking natural elements directly onto the clay surface. This process makes the exterior highly resistant to weathering, fading, and moisture damage.
As a standard floor-standing pot, it is designed for outdoor use. We recommend confirming the drainage setup upon arrival, as traditional artisanal clay pots typically include a base opening to prevent water accumulation.
Because each piece is crafted using traditional artisanal methods and natural materials, there will be subtle variations in the glaze and texture. These unique characteristics are a hallmark of the handmade process and ensure your planter is one-of-a-kind.
