We all love to give our plants something to climb on. It encourages larger leaf growth, and happier climbers, but what’s the most frustrating thing about those moss poles? For me, it’s getting them to stand up straight and not lean under the weight of the plant as it climbs up. I figured I couldn’t be alone here, so in 2021 I started working on planters with a built in pole holder!
Some fun facts about Pole Dancing Planters and how they work:
-
The pot and pole holder are thrown on the potter’s wheel as one piece. This makes the pole holder stronger!
-
All pole holders are in the center of the pot, and you can plant in the open area around them. This design is meant to keep them from being too heavy in the back.
-
Planters are thrown with a thick base to add extra weight for stability.
-
There are four drainage holes in these pots: one in the center so no water sits in the pole holder, and three holes in the base for regular drainage.
-
Each pot comes with a matching separate saucer
-
Pole holder diameter is slightly wider than 1”. You can add a velcro strip around your moss pole for a snugger fit. Or just toss some soil in there for extra support.
Dimensions:
- 8" is more like 9.75" with the pole and 7" high
Glazes
Planters are priced by the glaze options. Use the drop down menu to choose from the glaze options pictured below. These choices require 3-4 glazes applied. just right to achieve these gorgeous drippy effects. If you want a solid color glaze, see the other listing.

Technical details
All pre-order planters are made to order by human hands in my studio. As I am now living in Portugal full time, some pre-order items may be made by my studio assistant Anna, and fellow potter and collaborator Wil LaBelle. We have worked extensively together to ensure consistency in quality and design. Working with a small team has several benefits:
- it allows me to share my designs in the US, EU and UK without being affected by shipping tariffs (except some taxes between Portugal and the UK).
- It creates work with two other talented artists so you aren't just supporting my art, you are also helping other artists grow and maintain a livelihood from making ceramic art.
- I can keep offering my classic designs, while also having time to create new designs to share.
Payment and shipping options- US
- Pre-order pots require payment in full.
- We ship USPS or UPS ground, whichever price is best.
- All pre-orders ship within 6-8 weeks
- Not refundable
About Pre-orders
All of my pre-order planters are handmade once they're ordered and paid for. This takes the guess work out of what sizes, and colors people like best, as you get to decide exactly which glazes and sizes you want from the drop down menus.
Since each piece is made to order, allow 6-8 weeks for shipping. It takes this long because we make pre-orders in batches, and need to fill the kiln before we can fire (we don't fire individual pieces). Many of my designs also require a very slow and controlled drying time to avoid cracking. Each piece is fired twice, the bottoms are sanded, and then they are lovingly packed and shipped to you.
Pre-order items are non-refundable.
