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

This is a highly collectable, extra-large vintage terracotta round planter, manufactured in the late 1950s to 1960s by U.S. Pottery of Paramount, California. Measuring approximately 18.75 inches in diameter and weighing a heavy-duty 25.5 lbs, this exceptional piece perfectly showcases the iconic Mid-Century California Modernism and Architectural Pottery movement. While U.S. Pottery is famous for its smaller 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, clean tapered silhouette that creates an immediate architectural statement. Ideal for high-end styling with large cacti, agave, yucca, or olive trees, this is a premium investment piece for any curated mid-century modern courtyard or garden estate.

• Top Rim Weathering & Important Shipping Note: This planter exhibits an incredible, authentic aged patina born from decades of outdoor exposure. As clearly shown in photos, there is heavy, prominent weathering, flaking, and natural surface erosion concentrated around the top rim, which adds immense rustic character. [PLEASE NOTE ON SHIPPING] Due to the heavily weathered and delicate nature of this aged terracotta, the top rim is fragile. While the planter will be wrapped and secured with the utmost care using professional heavy-duty packing materials, please be aware that minor chipping or flaking along the top edge may occur 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 aged organic soil residue and natural white calcium/mineral deposits from long-term plant cultivation. The bottom features one integrated drainage hole, surrounded by the legibly impressed vintage stamp reading "US POTTERY MADE IN USA".
