Glad you like it----according to my records, the planter's 8" across and 3 1/2" deep. It's got the Popsicle Slide glaze on it, which is even more variable than most of them.

Since I made it as a Christmas present last year, I was glad it turned out OK----and her plant's certainly happy in it.
This is the other side....which is the photo I would have used if the thread was about the plants, instead of the pots....LOL!
Isn't it gorgeous?

And just look at that happy plant. Not even a year in the pot. How big was the plant when she put it in the pot Janet? If it was already good sized I bet it was a chore getting it moved.

I think it was in a slightly deeper nursery pot. She just told me she needed a pot for her donkey tail.
We may be going to a C&S sale tomrrow, so I'll try to get all the "dirt".

Very interested to hear how she accomplished the transfer, that's a large, delicate plant.

Susan, you find the most fascinating things, and I am so glad you share them. On my way back to see what else they have.
I really love the little hen and rooster. Have to see what size they are.
Be back.

They're cute, They would look great in my Veggie Garden.
Ric came home yesterday with some new succulents for me. Can't post pics as the other computer with the pics is acting up. Ric is working on it, might have a virus.
He brought me
Split Rock Pleiospilos nelii
Echeveria Dondo (in bloom)
Crassula perforata variegata
Kalanchoe tomentosa cv. Chocolate Soldier

We are headed out later today to a local flower show I will take pics but not sure when I will be able to post them.

Now that is impressive Holly, your husband brought them home? Does he do that often, and if so, can he be cloned? And he fixed computers? Hurray!
Hope it is nothing serious and is fixed soon. Meanwhile here are links for your above list. They are awesome plants. Lovey dubby

He is a gardener, too. Not much I can't talk him into. Lovey dubby
The computer is another issue, he knows a lot more about them than I do but we will see what he can do with it.
A couple of months ago he brought me
Jade Plant Crassula argentea cv. Gollum
Kalanchoe tomentosa Panda Plant
They were doing so well on the window sill that I divided them last week so now I have 4 more of the Gollum and 5 more of the Panda Plant.
Ah I just heard him pull up so we will be heading out any minute.

I have Cotyledon tomentosa 'Bear Paw', same as Cotyledon ladismithensis 'Bear's Paw'. It reminds me of your Panda Plant. It did beautifully for me outdoors last year, I brought it indoors the end of Oct. As proven to be a very easy, no care winter indoor plant.

I'm back home and my computer is fixed so I have a picture of my plants for you. I think they are a good start to my summer containers. I have several ideas for pots.These might just end up in my lava rock next week.

Warmer but very rainy. My living room and garage are filling up fast. Bunch of new plants in the last 2 days. I have 20 new house plants (not including the succulents Ric brought me) and 5 shrubs for my house and 4 for my daughter. Between the HGHA plant raffle, Community College Hort. program and buying display plants at the end of the local Flower Show.

I'm starting seeds soon, too. The annuals from the co-ops will be here starting in April. Hundreds more plants then.

Holly, I love your new plants. Those would look so nice in lava rock, would really show the colors nice. Man, I can't believe how many plants you've got already. When the rain stops you're going to be super busy. Fun!! Hurray!
