This planter has an off white background, but mostly hand painted in blue cobalt blue in different shades of blue, sizes, and forms. A unique addition to your garden landscape! The dimensions shown are overall dimensions, the top opening is about 10"" diameter and the internal height will hold a plastic pot about 12"" tall. It has a hole drilled at the bottom to allow the water to flow. We recommend to use a smaller plastic planter to put inside; this will prevent eroding to happen and will give a longer life to the pot. It is hand-crafted and hand-painted, because of that not two planters are going to be identical! There might be small differences in size, weight and color. This pot can be used outdoors on temperatures over 40 degrees Farenheit, under that temperature it might erode or crack, so outdoors use is recommended with caution.
