Barnacle planter - reef blue

These stunning blue glazed pots are handmade in Vietnam and available in two chunky sizes. The glazing process creates unique colour variations every time, so each pot has its own individual shade and finish.

They are produced in the traditional way so there may be some drops of the glaze inside the base of the pot. This is a normal effect that occurs when the glaze is applied by hand and pots are stacked in the kiln. Filled with soil, this will not be visible.

The soft wavy shape resembles a cupped flower head so these will look pretty filled with spring or summer bulbs. Perfect feature planters to ramp up the colour in the garden and will stand out wherever you put them.

Fired at very high temperatures for UV and frost resistance, the pots are suitable for year-round outdoor use. Supplied with a drainage hole.

Care and maintenance

Raise the pot off the ground with pot feet, making sure the drainage hole is clear so it can drain freely. Arranging a few crocks in the bottom of the pot before adding your soil will help stop the hole from clogging.

Protect the pot from frost damage over winter by sealing it with wax, wrapping it in bubble wrap, fleece or newspaper, moving it to an unheated shed or greenhouse, or placing it in a sheltered spot.

If using for perennial plants, repot them when they outgrow the pot to stop roots from cracking the base. To know when it’s time to repot, check underneath the pot for roots starting to emerge from the drainage hole.

Please note: as with all glazed planters, there may be hairline cracks present in the glaze. These are only surface deep and will not compromise the structural integrity of the pot in any way.
