About the Item

Introducing this large vintage industrial crucible, repurposed into a striking sculptural planter. This sculptural vessel crafted from natural lava stone — genuine volcanic rock with incredible organic texture. Its raw, cratered surface and rugged form showcase the dramatic character of molten stone cooled by nature. Each groove, pit, and color variation is completely natural, giving this piece a powerful, elemental presence. Perfect as a unique planter, decorative pot, or standalone art object, it brings an earthy, modern, and deeply organic aesthetic to any space.
