Know before you buy
While the planter is designed for both indoor and outdoor use, it is made of earthenware and should be brought inside during freezing or inclement weather to prevent cracking.
The Genoa planter is watertight, meaning it does not have a drainage hole. We recommend using a nursery pot inside or adding a layer of drainage material at the bottom if you are planting directly into it.
Because each piece is hand-thrown and hand-built by artisans in Italy, there will be slight variations in shape and glaze. You can expect your planter to have unique characteristics that distinguish it from mass-produced items.
This specific model is the small size, measuring 10 inches in diameter.
Yes, the watertight construction makes it an excellent choice for indoor surfaces where you want to avoid water leakage. Just be mindful of moisture levels since there is no drainage hole to release excess water.
