Ceramic Self-Watering Planter

Description from Kaufmann Mercantile

Stacked, two-part planter, with watering tray for roots to siphon moisture as needed. Holes in pot allow for self-watering and drainage in conjunction with lower reservoir compartment. Made in the U.S.A.

If you’ve ever inadvertently held your potted plant prisoner in Sahara-like conditions, this self-watering planter is a lifesaver (literally). The specially designed set allows your flowers, herbs and other greenery to draw in moisture as needed – and as they would in nature.

The pot features drainage holes at the bottom that help to aerate the roots and wick away excess water, therefore avoiding dreaded root rot. The lower tray at the bottom is to be filled with water, and acts as a reservoir for the plant to drink in water as necessary. A curved indentation in the upper portion adds interest to the simple, functional design, and also allows for a firm grip when lifting up the pot to refill the lower tray.

These stacked ceramic self-watering planters are made through slip casting, the method of pouring clay into a plaster mold. The upper pot is finished in a matte glaze while the lower portion has a slight sheen to create a subtle play on textures.
