Olivette Reactive Glaze Low Planter Bowls, Set of Two

Earthenware low planter bowls with broad openings and softly curved sides, the Olivette bowl set brings two graduated planting vessels together in White or Gray reactive glaze. Drainage holes support outdoor planting, while the low forms provide a grounded alternative to tall pots. Each color option includes both bowl sizes.

Ideal for: Contemporary, Modern Organic and Transitional gardens where simple vessels complement spreading foliage, natural stone and uncluttered architectural lines.

Key Features

• Earthenware Ceramic: The ceramic bodies provide substantial containers for planting, with rounded walls that show the glaze across a continuous surface. Their material character remains visible beneath the foliage rather than functioning only as a hidden plant holder.
• Low Open Profiles: Broad rims and curved sides create a shallow-looking silhouette above narrower bases. This shape emphasizes the spread of the planting, giving a different visual rhythm from upright pots or tall urns.
• White or Gray Reactive Glaze: Choose a brighter White treatment or a muted Gray finish. Variations in the handcrafted glaze give each bowl individual detail while allowing the pair to remain coordinated in one color.
• Two Graduated Bowls: The set includes 19.25-inch and 15.5-inch bowls together. Their difference in scale creates a ready-made relationship, useful for a nearby pair of plantings or for repeating the same form in separate positions.
• Drainage Openings: Drainage holes allow excess water to leave when kept clear. Elevating the bowls off the ground helps maintain that flow, an essential part of the specified winter-care routine.
• Coordinated Outdoor Styling: The shared rounded form creates continuity without requiring identical planting. Use the two sizes to vary the height and spread of foliage while keeping the containers themselves visually related.

Care & Use

Handcrafted pieces vary in size and color. Outdoor exposure produces natural weathering. Frost-resistant to 10°F when cared for properly. To help avoid winter freezing and breakage, keep drainage holes clear, elevate the bowls off the ground to maintain drainage, and keep them filled with soil.

Design & Atmosphere

The low planter bowls establish a quiet relationship through their matching curves and different sizes. Each opens broadly at the top before narrowing toward the base, giving the pair a grounded outline beneath the more irregular shapes of plants.

Across the reactive glaze, light reveals subtle changes in tone rather than a separate applied motif. White makes the rims more distinct against darker foliage, while Gray relates more softly to stone, gravel and weathered garden materials.

A terrace corner gives the bowls room to sit near one another without touching. Offset the smaller vessel so both curved profiles remain visible, allowing the difference in scale to become part of the arrangement.

Loose grasses can reinforce the contemporary proportions, while more controlled planting creates contrast with the rounded containers. The restrained glaze colors leave those choices open, connecting the same vessels with either relaxed or more formal surroundings.

The pair gives a planting display continuity without making every element identical. Repeated material and shape supply the structure, while different foliage can bring movement and variety above the open rims as the garden arrangement develops.

Curator’s Styling Tip

Plant the larger bowl with an upright focal plant and use lower, spreading foliage in the smaller one. Keep a clear gap between the vessels so their separate rims remain visible.

Create a considered planting pair with generous openings, quiet curves and softly varied glaze.
