Terracotta Elephant Planter - Whitewashed Folk Pot, Indoor
A handcrafted terracotta elephant planter with a soft whitewashed finish and folk motifs carved by hand into the clay. Part plant pot, part little sculpture - it brings warmth and a touch of whimsy to a windowsill, desk, shelf, or entry table.
Because each piece is shaped and finished by hand, no two are exactly alike. Slight variation in the whitewash and carving is the mark of real artisan work.
