Here is a beautiful teracotta garden planter from the ceramic artist Maggie Curtis.
The planter was made as part of a bespoke commission for a house designed by Charles Voysey, the Arts & Crafts Architect (1857-1941). The whole commission included gate post finials, an ornate name plaque and planters.
Maggie is a freelance ceramic artist who makes client based bespoke Architectural Ceramics which include sculptural ridge tiles, finials and capitals, embossed tiles, friezes, garden sculpture, restoration and reproduction work. Her work follows the tradition of Victorian Terracotta.
The planters featured here were approximately 50cm x 70cm and 30cm high, and cost £450 each. Maggie can create a bespoke planter for you starting from £100, depending on size and design.
