There are all types of frog planters but there is not one quite like this Vintage terracotta frog pot. This only of its kind sculptural planter is an antique at over 70years old.

This pots deep belly and shallow basin is perfect for sprouting your herbs, succulents, fern, or flowering plant. 

Vintage terracotta planters with a sculptural component are extremely rare and not easy to come by. Authentic vintage terracotta vessels are usually 70+ years old they encompass all of the weathered imperfections, natural beauty, and novel history that can not be replicated. More about the color tone, texture, and terracotta make-up below.

This planter was hand thrown and molded from raw clay fired in traditional kiln heated naturally by wood and brush. A common technique used by indigenous ceramicist of Mexico. This traditional process & attention to detail has allowed this vintage terracotta planter to retain its durability and resiliency despite it's antiquity and exposure to the elements for decades. Mother nature has provided the durable, natural, and authentic finish.

Decades of exposure to the elements and oxidization has transformed the terracotta surface to an array of earthen colors from burnt apricot to burnt adobe with shades of smokey Taupe. A natural color variation as shown in the photos. There are some areas of mild deterioration which have not compromised the structure of this sculptural pot rather they add to the vessels personality & authenticity.
