About the Item

A striking example of timeless California design, this mid-century Gainey Ceramics planter embodies clean, sculptural form with a subtly tapered silhouette. Finished in an elegant matte black glaze, the piece offers a bold yet understated presence—perfect for both minimalist and eclectic interiors. Crafted in the mid-20th century, Gainey planters are celebrated for their durability and classic proportions, making them a favorite among designers and collectors alike. Ideal for indoor or outdoor use, this planter pairs beautifully with statement foliage or as a standalone decorative object. No visible maker’s mark, consistent with Gainey production practices of the period. This listing is for the small size. Available in small, medium, large, and extra-large sizes. Some planters bear the original Gainey Ceramics stamp, though markings vary across pieces. Shipping from Orange, California.
