Know before you buy
The Form 57 is engineered as a two-piece set where the planter vessel rests securely atop the bowtie-shaped saucer. This clever structural design creates a visual gap that makes the planter appear as if it is hovering.
Yes, the bowtie-shaped saucer is designed to be multifunctional. It can be used as a base for the planter or flipped and used independently as a small, sculptural vase.
Yes, the planter vessel includes a small drainage hole to help prevent overwatering. Because it is designed for indoor use, we recommend placing a small tray or saucer underneath if you are concerned about water runoff on delicate surfaces.
Each Form 57 is handcrafted in San Francisco, meaning there will be subtle variations in the glaze and finish. These slight differences are intentional and ensure that every piece is a unique, one-of-a-kind collectible.
When fully assembled, the piece stands 8.75 inches tall with a diameter of 5.38 inches. It is specifically designed for tabletop display, making it an ideal size for desks, shelves, or side tables.
