BUYMAX Vintage Cobalt Blue & Antique Cream Ceramic Urn Planter with Handles, Crackle Glaze Flower Pot

I admit I was surprised and delighted when I unboxed this ceramic pot. It reminded me of something that might be handed down from your grandmother -- or purchased in a higher-end department store. The quality, the *feel* of it, the cracked glaze finish overlaying the finely-rendered floral design ... it seems like a hand-thrown piece of pottery, sturdy and hefty and yet ... delicate. The handles are such a nice touch! -- the pot would've been lovely without them, but *with* them, the whole piece is elevated to art. Plus, the handles make you feel more secure when carrying from one spot to another. The little rubber "feet" prevent the pot from scratching surfaces, and also stabilizes it in place. Nice. The drainage hole has a well-fitted, sturdy and flexible plug. This piece is pretty enough to put on a shelf, but it's made to grow things! And unlike many "fine" pots, it's suitable for outdoor life, too. Love it!
