The Capital Garden Mediterranean 4 Planter with Stand is a copy of a centuries-old original vessel used for carrying olive oil, molasses, and wine. This vessel includes a metal stand to hold the pot upright, this planter won't stand by itself because it features a rounded bottom. Its design is authentically reproduced in fiberglass to mimic the terra cotta original. Fiberglass is lightweight, withstands frost, is waterproof, and will not crack like terra cotta will. Wrought Iron stand is included in price - contact our customer care team if you are interested in purchasing without the stand. Select if you would like optional drainage hole in bottom. This planter is shown in a Terracotta finish, which is how this planter is stocked for quickest shipping.
