Monstera Albo Planter with Attached Saucer - Pre-Order - US Collection
- A few left in stock!
Each planter is made to order during my trip to Portland and will ship by December 4, the latest.
This pot is thrown on the wheel, using a white stoneware clay body. The Monstera leaf is sculpted from a slab of clay, and attached to the pot. The leaf and saucer are glazed and the body of pot is left unglazed and will patina over time. Has drainage. These are made with the saucer attached.
The glazing technique I created to mimic the Albo variegation requires 3 coats each of three different glazes applied in a pattern. They melt perfectly together in the kiln to create an Albo leaf that will never turn brown. They do vary greatly in appearance, as the glaze moves differently with each application.
Approximate dimensions:
6" diameter, 5.75" tall, 8.5" tall to top of leaf
8" diameter, 7.75" tall, 10.5" to top of leaf
- Choose 6" or 8" planter from the dropdown menu.
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 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.
