Premium Glaze Temple Jar - 47 x 65cm

The Premium Glaze Temple Jar is a double-fired ceramic jar made in one size, 47cm across and 65cm tall, at 28kg empty. It is finished in ten hand-applied glaze colourways from ocean blues to gunmetal, each double fired for depth and for frost resistance. Of the taller jars in this range, it is the one still straightforward to place. Why you'll love it Height without the bulk. 65cm tall on a 47cm base gives real presence beside a door, and at 28kg empty it is far easier to position than the larger jars. Ten hand-applied glazes. Laid on by hand and double fired, so the colour has depth instead of sitting flat on the surface. Made for outdoor life. The second firing carries the frost resistance, and the glazes hold their colour through Australian summers and frosty mornings. Sizes and what fits in them One size, quoted as diameter by height in outside dimensions. No volume figure is published for this shape, so plan from the 47cm width. 47 x 65cm, 28kg. Enough width for a plant stepped up from a 250mm or 300mm nursery pot, with room to grow into. Upright plants suit it best. The height already does the work, so a strappy or columnar plant complements the jar instead of competing with it. Material, weathering and drainage Material. Double-fired ceramic with the glaze applied by hand. The 47 x 65cm measurement is an outside dimension, so allow for the wall thickness. Outdoors. The double firing is what makes the glaze frost resistant, and the colours stay true outside. Tone and pooling vary from jar to jar, which is normal for a hand-glazed finish. Drainage. It drains from the base. Keep the holes clear and raise the jar on pot feet so water escapes freely, and use a saucer if it stands on an indoor floor. Cover each hole with a single layer of fibreglass flyscreen, never fabric or geofabric, because both clog. Lay 50mm of 10mm gravel, then a quality premium potting mix, never garden soil. What to expect when it arrives The jar ships empty, dispatched in 2 to 5 business days and delivered Australia wide, with a minimum order of $300 before delivery. At 47 x 65cm and 28kg it is a careful two person lift. Choose a plant suited to containers, because aggressive roots can damage any planter over time.
