Humble Earth Large Planter Red

This large hand-thrown planter is a rich, expressive piece of ceramic artistry, perfect for showcasing a favorite plant while adding warmth and character to any space. Made from stoneware clay and shaped on the potter’s wheel, the planter features a generously rounded body with gently sloping sides and a sturdy, grounded presence.

The interior is glazed in a radiant golden hue, reminiscent of warm amber or sunlit honey. This glaze has a smooth, glossy finish that catches the light beautifully, creating a glowing contrast with the deeper tones of the exterior. It also provides a functional, moisture-resistant surface ideal for housing plants.

The exterior is coated in a deep burgundy glaze, rich and velvety, with undertones of plum and wine. This finish may have slight variegation, giving it a subtle depth and a soft sheen. The color is bold yet earthy, complementing greenery beautifully.

At the very bottom of the planter, the glaze fades into a raw, unglazed section of exposed clay. This area is textured—either through carving, stamping, or natural tooling—adding a tactile, grounded contrast to the smooth, glossy glazes above. The unglazed surface highlights the natural beauty of the clay body and adds a rustic, handmade touch.

Centered at the bottom is a drainage hole, essential for healthy plant care, allowing excess water to escape and preventing root rot. This thoughtful detail, combined with the planter's aesthetic elegance, makes it both beautiful and highly functional.

Altogether, the planter is a harmonious blend of warm, rich colors and artisanal textures—an ideal piece for indoor or sheltered outdoor greenery, bringing art and nature together in a single form.

The exterior is finished in a warm brown glaze, with tones reminiscent of tree bark, toasted wheat, or raw cocoa. This glaze is applied in a way that allows some texture and form to come through, with occasional flecks or streaks that add visual interest. The brown and green glazes complement one another, creating a grounded, nature-inspired palette.

The base of the bowl is left unglazed, revealing the natural stoneware clay in its raw state. Around this base, a notched pattern is carefully incised with a series of small, evenly spaced vertical cuts adding a subtle decorative detail and a tactile element that invites touch. This unglazed foot not only offers a visual anchor but also reflects traditional craftsmanship, honoring the materials and process.

Altogether, this bowl is both rustic and refined—ideal for use in a kitchen or on a table where beauty meets purpose.
