Vintage US Pottery Paramount Terracotta Planter Large Mid Century Pot USA 19"

This is an incredibly rare, museum-quality extra-large vintage terracotta round planter, manufactured in the late 1950s to 1960s by the renowned U.S. Pottery of Paramount, California. Measuring a generous 19.25 inches in diameter and weighing 23.7 lbs, this heavy-duty piece perfectly embodies the iconic Mid-Century California Modernism and Architectural Pottery movement of the era. While U.S. Pottery is famous for its colorful glazed swirl pots, this unglazed, thick-walled raw biscuit terracotta planter is highly coveted and exceptionally rare due to its limited production run. It features a bold, structured silhouette that creates an immediate architectural anchor. Ideal for high-end styling with large cacti, agave, yucca, or an olive tree, this is a true mid-century collector's statement piece for any curated patio, ranch home, or modern garden estate.

Condition

• Overall: Great mid-century vintage condition. Structurally rock-solid, thick, and fully functional for holding heavy soil and large plants.

• Surface Patina & Shipping Note: Exhibits a breathtaking, authentic aged patina born from decades of active garden life. As seen in photos, there is extensive natural exterior surface scaling, peeling, and weathered texturing. [PLEASE NOTE ON SHIPPING] Due to the fragile nature of this authentic vintage terracotta, some of the loose, peeling surface layers on the sides are delicate. While this planter will be packed with the utmost care using professional wrapping and heavy-duty materials, please be aware that minor flaking or small bits of surface clay may detach during transit due to shipping vibrations. This is a natural characteristic of aged outdoor earthenware and is factored into its rustic vintage condition.

• Interior & Bottom: The interior holds heavily aged soil line staining and natural white calcium/mineral leaching from historical watering. The bottom features one integrated drainage hole, with the vintage "US POTTERY MADE IN USA" stamp still legibly impressed into the clay.
