Plant Shelfie Bookends Black + White (Slip Cast)
Need more space for your plants? How about some truly functional planters? These are made from a mold I had made of a 6” planter with attached saucer thrown on the potter’s wheel. I then cut the planter in half, attach a slab back to each half, and voila- Bookends!
Each half has a drainage hole and once potted, is heavy enough to hold your books up for the ultimate plant shelfie. Through testing and trial and error, I have made the backs of the bookends taller than the front lip of the pot. This should prevent water from spilling over the back of the pot and getting your books wet, however I recommend moving the pot for watering, just in case. The same is true for when they hang on the wall. The back wall should prevent overflow on the wall, but taking them down to water is a good safety precaution.
Creative Ideas for Use:
As bookends, (obviously :) )
On the Kitchen counter, planted with fresh herbs for cooking. They’ll hold up your cookbooks and contribute to your recipe.
The narrow shape is great for windowsills, and fireplace mantels too.
This pair has a combo of two glazes with a fabulous oil spot speckling where they intersect.
Approximate dimensions: 5.5" wide x 2.45" deep, 5.5" tall
Backs are slightly warped, so slightly discounted
