About the Item
This exquisite flame-glazed ceramic planter by David Cressey and Robert Maxwell is a true testament to California modernism. Its rich, molten hues of deep amber, fiery orange, and earthy brown create a mesmerizing surface that feels both organic and artistic. The textured glaze adds depth and movement, making each piece uniquely dynamic under changing light. Crafted in the 1970s, its sculptural form and hand-applied glaze techniques make it not just a planter, but a statement of timeless craftsmanship. Built to withstand the elements, this stoneware beauty enhances any space, from mid-century interiors to lush outdoor gardens.
Fun Historical Fact: David Cressey and Robert Maxwell were pioneers of the California ceramic movement, blending functional pottery with sculptural artistry. Their planters became iconic in the mid-century design world, gracing the patios and interiors of architects like Richard Neutra and Frank Lloyd Wright.
