A long, low oval planter in glossy ivory, crazed all over with fine crackle lines and brushed with soft brown antiquing that settles into the crackle, so it looks like a piece that has sat on a farmhouse windowsill for decades. The rim flares out wide, the body swells into a rounded band at the middle, and a stepped oval foot lifts it just off the table.

The low, open shape is made for a row of herbs, a cluster of succulents, a trailing pothos or a bowl of spring bulbs, and it looks just as good holding nothing but moss and a few smooth stones. Run it down the middle of the dining table, set it along the mantel or line it up on a kitchen sill. The quiet ivory works with white farmhouse, warm wood, rattan and linen alike.
