Description

Vintage Allistona studio pottery planter with a strong organic textured form and earthy glazed finish.

This decorative piece has a heavily worked exterior with natural tones of green, brown and ochre, giving it a sculptural mid century studio pottery look. The irregular square form and textured surface make it an attractive display piece for a shelf, sideboard, windowsill or plant arrangement.

Marked Allistona to the base.

Due to the visible internal hairline crack, this is best used decoratively or as a cachepot with an inner liner rather than for direct planting.
