Dolly tub planter - aged zinc

Based on the iconic Dolly tubs used in Victorian wash houses, this large steel planter brings a touch of the traditional. Suitable for direct planting or as a cover for large pots indoors or out, the corrugated sidewalls make it exceptionally sturdy.

The planter is zinc plated for a vintage look then clear powder coated before receiving a final patina finish. The end result is a real statement piece, perfect for standing beside entranceways. Plant it up with a bay tree or similar beside the front door for instant country house grandeur.

The welded tray base acts as a reservoir to keep plants healthy, while small gaps between the pleats let excess water spill over the sides of the tray. After heavy rain you can carefully tip the planter to empty out some water if needed.

Please note: exact shape and finish may vary. Over time, the planter will develop some natural discolouration where the pleats meet the integrated saucer base. This is normal ageing and will not compromise the structural integrity of the pot.
