Know before you buy
The Form 45 consists of a smaller inner planter that rests inside a larger, footed saucer. This design provides structural support and visual depth while ensuring the planter remains stable on your tabletop.
Yes, the planter includes a drainage hole to prevent water from pooling at the roots. The nested saucer is designed to catch excess water, keeping your surfaces protected.
The finish is a textured, speckled glaze created by layering Terracotta over Heath Brown. Because it is handcrafted, the exact distribution of the speckling varies, making every piece unique.
The Form 45 is specifically designed for indoor use. We recommend keeping it on a tabletop or stable surface away from the elements to preserve the integrity of the ceramic finish.
The sloping interior and wide, shallow profile are ideal for Ikebana-style arrangements, succulents, or low-growing foliage. Its design is intended to highlight the harmony between the plant's structure and the vessel itself.
You can clean the ceramic surface by wiping it with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemicals, which could damage the unique glazed finish.
