Disclaimer: After you fill this planter with dirt and a plant of your choice, some subtle transitions in color on the surface of this planter may occur, and are a natural result of soil moisture permeating through the clay pot, causing a gradual change in color. This effect is quite common in this particular finish which uses our wood-fired kiln, includes natural glazes and paints, and can be influenced by the placement of the piece in the kiln during firing. The kiln's varying temperature zones, known as hot spots and cool spots, can also contribute to the outcome of the glaze color. This ancient craft, passed down through generations, embraces the occasional occurrence of these natural transformations, and is one of the unique characteristics of our handmade Atzompa pottery from Oaxaca, Mexico.
