Where form meets intent.

A sculpted bust planter with real presence. The Florid Chiaroscuro captures a woman's profile in cast stone, her curly hair swept upward into a natural bowl for trailing plants or succulents. Gold flower drop earrings catch the light against a dark bronze and black finish highlighted with golden tones.

Every piece is handcrafted in our Cumbria countryside workshop and finished by hand, so no two are exactly alike. The rich contrast between the dark body and warm gold detailing gives this planter a bold, striking look on a shelf, console table, or windowsill.

Designed to hold small potted plants, dried flowers, or trailing greenery. We recommend placing your plant in a small inner pot to protect the planter interior.
