your plants open up to the sun every day, and the model two planter celebrates this process. this tapered conical planter stretches upwards from a tight diameter base to a more gracious opening that allows for a generous surface area to water and care for your plants. the result is a graceful handmade earthenware form that economizes on floor space while accommodating your plant’s complex root structures. after all, we all need room to grow. 

planters are intended for indoor and outdoor use. due to the expanding properties of frozen water in soil, planters left outdoors may crack if left in temperatures that dip below freezing. handle with care and do not drop on a hard surface. monstruosus planters will not discolor. when cleaning, do not use supplies with pumice or grit, as it may harm or diminish the glaze. no drainage hole.

monstruosus ceramics are made by humans, not machines. each piece is handcrafted using a slip-cast mold. our experienced casters begin this intensive process by creating a wet, viscous clay slurry that is poured into a plaster mold. once the clay is “leather hard” they free the planter from its mold and shave it, sculpt its lip, and sponge its sides to achieve a refined texture. after drying for a couple of days, the planter is transported to the kiln where it’s baked at just under 2,000 degrees fahrenheit. here, the clay undergoes a chemical transformation that activates its natural silica deposits, hardening it into a durable shell. they then spray it with a matte glaze and fire in the kiln once more to activate its vitreous enamel finish.
