1 ANCHOR CERAMICS PLANTERS 2018

3 Anchor planters are handmade in limited quantities in Melbourne, Australia. Thrown by hand on a potter s wheel, each planter we make is a unique object; a home for your plants with a carefully considered shape and a surface rich with the evidence of its handmade origins. The planters were originally conceived in terracotta and as a reworking of the ubiquitous terracotta pots and pipes that we all have in our gardens. The planter range has since evolved to include two different shapes, six sizes and six earthy glaze options. Each glaze finish is the result of countless hours of testing and refinement and is designed to complement both the clean geometric shapes of the planters and colours of the plants that will ultimately sit within. The glaze colours are also complement many of the other items in the Anchor product range including lighting, tiles and outdoor furniture. At Anchor, we re passionate about maintaining healthy and robust local design and manufacturing industries. Our products are hand made in our studio in Melbourne, Australia and in doing so we provide employment opportunities for young practitioners, educate and transfer our skills and knowledge and support a whole host of other local businesses with the same ideals. In buying a product designed and made here in Australia, you re helping support this vision.

4 UNDERCUT PLANTER SIZING Undercut planters are available in small, medium and large sizes with two format options - low or tall, within each size. Rather than being made to an exact size, the planters are thrown by hand using a specific weight of clay for each size. The sizing is judged by eye rather than using specific measurements. This produces subtle size shifts within the small, medium and large size brackets making each planter a truly unique object. GLAZE OPTIONS We currently offer six glaze options - each carefully developed to complement the geometric form of the planters and other items in our ceramic product range. Each of the glaze colours are represented on the pages following. There is no price difference across the glaze range. DRIP TRAYS Undercut planters are made with drainage holes as this presents the best possible conditions for the plants. Drip trays to suit each glaze and size of planter are also available; a flat saucer-like tray designed to complement the clean, structural lines of the planters. Drip trays must be ordered with a corresponding planter and are not available individually.

8 OLIVE GREEN GLAZE NEW FOR 2018 As part of the evolution of the planter range, we are introducing a new glaze finish to the range in Shown on a series of Funnel Planters below, the new glaze finish is called Olive Green. Deep green in colour, the new glaze finish compliments a broad range of plant colours. The ingredients in the glaze also interact well with the clay body we use to make our planters. During firing, this interaction creates a surface finish that is rich with textural variation across the planter s surface. The Olive Green glaze finish is available in both the Undercut and Funnel Planter forms.
