SKU# 5401840

Beautifully hand-painted ferns on this small round planter will complement the foliage and flowers you plant. For centuries, Vietnamese artisans have been known for their exquisite ceramics. To create this planter, artisans working with Viet Lam Co., first put the clay into a round mold and spread the clay around the walls of the mold. Next, artisans place the mold on the rolling table and, with a special piece of machinery, roll the mold in order to make the pot round. Next, artisans take the mold outside and allow the clay inside to dry for about two hours. After two hours, they take the pot out of the mold and allow it to dry completely. After applying the glaze by hand, the artisans place the pot under the sun to allow the glaze to dry and then place the planter in a wood-fired kiln. Artisans heat the kiln to over 800 degrees Celsius for one day. Then they extinguish the fire and allow the kiln to cool before removing the planters. Viet Lam Co. contracts orders to family workshopscin and around Ho Chi Minh City. The organization provides piece rate work, materials for production and payment for labor costs. Additional benefits include interest-free loans to the artisans for repairing tools and machines, advances for orders and assistance with development of new designs and products.Also available in medium and large sizes (#5401850 and 5401860).
