Large 8" Curvy Plant Shelfie Bookends in Mars Crystal

Need more space for your plants? How about some truly functional planters? These are made from a 8” planter with attached saucer that’s thrown on the potter’s wheel. I then cut the planter in half, attach a slab back to each half, and voila- Bookends! This is a good place to mention that these are not perfect. Sometimes one side is a little larger, or slightly different somehow. But, hey! It’s handmade, so imperfections remind us that it’s made by a real human (me).

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.

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.

Approximate dimensions: 8" wide on the back x 4” deep. 6.5" tall
