Large Antique Green Castelnaudary Planter w/ 4 Handles 20"

An early 20th-century Castelnaudary planter, characterized by its classical urn shape with four looped handles and an elegant emerald green glaze. The wide rim and gently curved body taper down to a slightly flared base, creating a balanced and refined silhouette. 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 glossy rich green glaze, typical of Castelnaudary pottery, shows areas of wear and small chips that reveal the natural terracotta underneath, adding rustic charm and authenticity. This subtle aging gives the piece a timeless, weathered appeal. This planter would make an elegant addition to a garden or terrace, bringing a touch of French country style and tradition to any outdoor space.
