Description

A large vintage pot that embodies the primitive indigenous artisan culture from which it was originally created over 100 years ago. Covered largely in a deep gun smoke blue like an overcast sky that is about to produce rain. This transitions into a foggy white and shades of terracotta. The finish is smooth to suave similar to chalk board. The color is 100% natural, via decades of rain, oxidization, and exposure to elements. Hand-thrown from terracotta clay, this particular planter or pot has a tribal-style ring etched towards the top, with a fluted neck. Discovered and reimagined to be an authentic planter in your home. This oversized vintage jug was originally handmade to distill and transport agave nectar.
