Know before you buy
Yes, it is suitable for indoor use. However, because it features a drainage hole, you must place a saucer or protective tray underneath to prevent water from leaking onto your flooring.
The stain is designed to weather and develop a natural patina as it is exposed to the elements. This process creates subtle, unique variations in color, giving the piece an authentic, aged appearance.
Yes, weighing 87 pounds, this cast stone urn is quite substantial and stable. It is well-suited for porches or patios where you need a planter that won't easily tip over.
The interior dimensions are 14 inches in diameter and 6 inches deep. This is ideal for seasonal annuals, small perennials, or decorative arrangements that do not require deep root systems.
It is very low maintenance. Simply rinse it with water occasionally to remove dust or debris, and avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that could strip the hand-applied finish.
Cast stone is durable, but concrete can be susceptible to freeze-thaw damage if water becomes trapped inside. We recommend elevating the planter slightly off the ground during winter or ensuring it is covered to prevent water accumulation.
