Gatsby Planter with Saucer Pre-Order

The Gatsby is an airy 6” planter inspired by the Art Deco style of the roaring 20s. I loved the novel “The Great Gatsby” when I was in high school, so when several people suggested the name, I knew it was a perfect fit for this pot.

The planter is thrown on the wheel. I then measure the design in thirds, before carving the lines and poking the holes to create a symmetrical pattern.

The Saucer is thrown and trimmed on the wheel and both pieces are glazed in the color of your choice.

Dimensions:

Approximately 6” diameter by 5.5” high
8" diameter by 6.5" high

This planter is great for Hoyas, air plants like orchids, or for any plant that thrives in a chunky well aerated soil. You can plant directly in the pot, or nestle a nursery pot inside, making it a versatile planter for just about any plant.

Since this is a pre-order, this planter is made to order and will ship by December 4, the latest

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.

Pre-order pots require payment in full.
We ship USPS or UPS ground, whichever price is best.
All pre-orders ship by the date specified on the product page
Not refundable
If an item is damaged in shipping, please photograph the box and its contents to send to me. In this case we will replace the item for you.

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.
