The Bark Planter is a study in surface. A dense pattern of fine horizontal ridges wraps the full body — tighter and more intricate than coil work, closer to the texture of tree bark or scored earth — and into these ridges, layers of brown, grey, and warm ochre are worked and abraded until the finish settles into something that feels accumulated rather than applied.

The form is a gentle truncated cylinder: slightly wider at the base than at the rim, with a clean, unadorned opening. The silhouette is deliberately quiet, ceding the conversation entirely to the surface. In warm interior light — as shown here — the earthy tones deepen, the ridges cast fine shadows, and the pot reads as something almost geological in character.

At tabletop scale, the Bark Planter suits compact specimens and sculptural plants — succulents, small cacti, trailing ground covers — where the pot and plant are equally considered. It sits comfortably on a coffee table, side table, or shelf without demanding the space around it.

A piece that rewards closeness. The more light falls across it, the more the surface reveals.
