Crucible Small Black Terracotta Planters with Saucer by Athena Calderone
Throughout history, crucibles were vessels used to melt and pour metals. Athena Calderone took this ancient form—originally used in foundries—and recreated it into our modernized terracotta planters, complete with spouts. Streaked and crackled, the multi-step, hand-applied charcoal finish even evokes rivulets of liquified iron. Use the planters to highlight a beloved specimen, and the saucers will catch any drips from watering.
We've partnered with bestselling author, interior designer and EyeSwoon founder Athena Calderone to bring you a collection of designs for meaningful, beautiful modern living. Inspired by ancient forms and European finds, Crate x Athena fine-tunes scale, materials and comfort to fit seamlessly into your home.
