Quincy Planter with Tray M

The Quincy Planter with Tray in the medium size is 22cm square and 20cm high, in green glazed ceramic with a matching tray. It is sized for mid-range plants and herbs. It arrives fully assembled.

The medium is the most practical size in the range for a kitchen. It takes a herb pot from a nursery without repotting, the tray handles the overwatering that herbs invariably get, and the height keeps the foliage clear of a benchtop.

A glazed finish rather than an unglazed one matters for a plant that is watered often. Unglazed terracotta wicks moisture through the wall and leaves a ring on whatever it stands on; a glaze seals the vessel so the tray is the only thing that needs emptying.

Green against green is easier at this size than at a smaller one, because there is enough vessel visible below the foliage for the two tones to read as a pairing rather than a collision.
