This large orchid planter is made with a warm terra cotta clay & fired twice in the kiln to a very high temperature. After throwing the planter on the potter’s wheel a white slip is poured over half of the pot. When the slip is dry, holes are added around the sides & the blue & white butterfly designed is applied. When the planter comes out of the kiln after the first firing a clear glaze is applied over the blue & white design & the pot is fired again. I love how the finished shiny blue & white pattern contrasts with the matte terra-cotta clay. The planter measures 7 1/2 to 8 inches at the top diameter x 5 inches in height. There is a hole for drainage in the bottom & 12 1/2 inch holes around the sides for quick drainage & air circulation that is so essential for orchid root health. I have carefully trimmed & signed the bottom. To see more orchid planters please return to my shop danceswithclay.etsy.com.
