Metate Pot, Small Terracotta Footed Planter.

Rare class of culturally influenced, sculptural terracotta pots! The Metate planters are available in 3 distinct sizes. Short/wide oval-shaped medium size is perfect for midsize flora to mature small plants. The tripedal/three footed solid terracotta planter features design aesthetics inspired by traditional Mexican kitchen tools like the metate or molcajete. The pot's deep belly floats 2"in/5cm above ground supported by the 3 sturdy, solid terracotta feet. The entire exterior surface of each Metate pot features a heavy texture. This rough-hewn layer varies per pot adding dimension and authenticity. From a distance the scabrous surface is reminiscent of avocado skin, yet close-up it the texture is more similar to lava-rock. Each vessel encompasses weathered finish, natural beauty, and novel history that can not be replicated. More about the color tone, texture, and terracotta make-up below.
