Ceramic planter vases are versatile containers in the floral arts. They are often used to present centerpieces and table displays. Some people use them as houseplant window trays. I use them however my imagination decides. We have three planters today for experiments.
The first one is a mid-20th century “atomic” style planter in neon yellow. A Japanese-import Bonsai is at home in a bed of aquarium gravel. The vintage wooden doll adds balance.
The black USA Pottery jardinière is accented with fire-orange drips. A wooly lambs ear houseplant is at home in this planter. A mid-century Channel Master transistor radio plays some tunes.
The yellow mid-century “banana vase” houses a miniature container garden of various plantings. This will be displayed in the kitchen.

Excellent presentations. As for transistor radios: Are they still made? If so, do you know what type of battery they use?
I’ve seen some Jensen pocket-size radios at Target. I believe they use a pair of AAA batteries. They may even sell them on line.
Love them all, but number three stands out to me 🙂 Maggie
Thanks, variety is the spice of life.
As a Japan lover, the bonsai tugs at my heart.
I’m glad. I really wanted the Bonsai and the planter to work together.
