The iconic midcentury modern cylinder planter is having a moment. The originals, introduced in the 1950s by Los Angeles–based Architectural Pottery, have spawned a new generation of graceful, simple silhouettes.
Vintage cylinder planters are prized among collectors (a La Gardo Tackett Planter from Architectural Pottery is $2,600 on 1st Dibs). But vintage doesn’t fit everybody’s budget. We’ve rounded up 10 well-priced cylinder planters, with designs that pay homage to midcentury modern originals.
