Antique Castelnaudary Planter w/ Flamed Yellow & Green Glaze 4 Handles 18½"

An early 20th-century Castelnaudary planter, showcasing a flamed yellow and green glaze that gives the piece its unique, vibrant character. The planter features a classic urn shape with four looped handles evenly spaced around the body, a typical element of Castelnaudary planters. The wide rim and gently curved body taper down to a slightly flared base, providing a balanced and sturdy form. Large planters, such as this one, were traditionally used for growing citrus or mandarin trees, with the four handles used to carry these important terracotta pots from the outside and into an orangery during the winter period, this type of planter embodies the practical yet stylish designs typical of French garden décor.

The flamed glaze pattern, with streaks of yellow blending into green, creates an eye-catching effect, making the planter stand out as both a functional and decorative piece. The glaze displays minor areas of natural wear, adding to the rustic appeal and authenticity of the planter. This piece, with its timeless aesthetic and authentic touch of French country charm, will effortlessly enhance both classic and contemporary outdoor or indoor settings.
