{HISTORY}

Back in the mid-20th century, when you wanted to pot your herbs, or overwinter your favorite summer flower, or start a succulent garden for your sunny kitchen window sill, you reached for this green pottery planter. 

Oblong in shape, it's known as the window sill design since it is long and narrow and fits easily on most standard window sills. Unmarked by maker, it's thick-walled and heavy, possibly made by McCoy or Hull or Brush, and features an array of green shades highlighting a dramatic design of interesting lines and elongated triangles. 

The beauty of this shape and size (10" inches x 4" inches" is that you can fit quite a few small pots inside - up to four 2" inch pots if you like to keep things linear and still have a little extra room to grow (think herbs, bulbs or micro greens) or up to eight mini pots (think succulents, cactus or aloe) full of plants that don't mind cozying up to another. 

Similar to the changing colors in sea or lake water, when the sun catches the shiny glaze, all the colors of the planter really shine. Even though the overall color palette is a neutral mossy green, shades of avocado, seafoam, mustard, mint, and pine retreat and come forth as the natural light changes throughout the day. 

Between the textured pattern and the array of colors this is quite an interesting little art piece as much as a functional planter. It also happens to be a playground for your gardening imagination, and might just be the salve to get you through the fall and winter months while you wait to greet your outdoor garden in spring once again.
