Know before you buy
The Form 34 consists of a smaller inner planter that rests securely inside a larger, footed bowl. This configuration allows the outer bowl to act as a saucer, catching excess water while creating a layered, sculptural aesthetic.
Yes, the inner planter features a drainage hole to ensure proper soil aeration and water flow. The outer bowl is designed to catch the runoff, keeping your tabletop protected.
Given its shallow, wide profile, this planter is ideal for succulents, small ferns, or moss arrangements. It is specifically designed to highlight the negative space between the plant and the vessel, making it perfect for minimalist, sculptural greenery.
The rim is left as exposed, natural Heath clay, which provides a beautiful, raw contrast to the glazed interior. Because it is unglazed, it is porous and should be handled with care to avoid staining from oils or dark soil.
Each piece is handcrafted by designer Tung Chiang at the Heath Ceramics studio in San Francisco, California.
