Set of 2 Honey Pot Planters with Tall Metal Pedestal Stands c1950

A sculptural pairing of terracotta "honey pot" planters elevated on tall, three-legged industrial metal stands with triangular wooden tops.  They combine the raw elegance of rusted patina with the timeless form of antique olive jars, creating sculptural presence and notable stature.  Traditionally, used across Southern Europe for storing olive oil, wine, grains, or water. Their heavy terracotta bodies and porous walls helped regulate temperature and preserve contents. Decorative vessels for use indoors as sculptural objects or outdoors as planters and garden urns.
