Atlantis Egg Shaped Planter

Description

Newly made, and looking as though they have spent decades at the bottom of the sea. These egg shaped planters belong to the same extraordinary family as our Sea Glaze pots, urns, and jars that are hand-made, frost resistant, and finished with a crusty, weathered glaze that ranges from whitish to warm toasted shades, with occasional hints of turquoise breaking through. The result is a surface of real depth and provenance, as though each piece has its own history before it ever reached your garden.

The rounded egg form is part of the charm — soft, organic, and sculptural, it holds planting beautifully and carries that salt-touched character whether standing alone or grouped with the rest of the collection. Frost resistant and suitable for flowing water features, these are pieces designed for the garden that want to be lived with for years.

Fresh from the kiln. Dressed for the deep. And ready for your garden.

What makes this product special
The egg form is one of the most satisfying shapes in garden pottery — soft, complete, and sculptural from every angle — and the sea-touched glaze makes each piece entirely its own. The crusty surface in its whitish, toasted, and turquoise tones gives the planters a depth and a story that no perfectly smooth factory pot can ever carry, while the hand-made nature means no two pieces leave the kiln quite alike. Frost resistant and water feature ready, the collection works as hard as it looks — and with four sizes, it can be composed and recomposed across a terrace, a border, or an entire garden.

Caragh’s Garden Notebook
Egg shaped planters are at their most effective when they are allowed to work as a family — a group of three or four at different sizes creates a composition that feels gathered and intentional, like pieces collected rather than bought. The rounded form suits softly architectural planting: ornamental grasses, clipped box or topiary shapes, a specimen olive, or simply a mass of seasonal planting that trails gently over the rim. Unwrap carefully and allow any slight shedding from the surface to settle; the glaze is robust and the frost resistance means these can live outdoors all year. In a fountain or rill, the salt-weathered character of the glaze and the sound of flowing water work together in a way that needs nothing added. As with all hand-made pieces, exact dimensions vary a little — treat the sizes as a guide, choose the scale to suit the spot, and give each piece a position worthy of the sea that appears to have made it.
