No. It is cement, cast and coloured to look like driftwood. That is why damp soil will not rot it.
It is 16 cm long and 6.5 cm tall, so succulents, small cacti, moss or a compact bonsai. Anything with deep roots needs a taller pot.
None is listed in the specifications. Put a layer of gravel at the bottom and water sparingly.
The specifications list it for balconies and gardens as well as indoors. Cement does not rot or corrode.
A small planter cast in cement and finished to look like a piece of driftwood, with the grain, knots and split edges of old timber. It is cement, not wood, so damp soil will not rot it.
16 cm / 6.3 in long, 9.5 cm / 3.7 in wide and 6.5 cm / 2.6 in tall. Low and open, it suits succulents, small cacti and a compact bonsai on a desk or windowsill.
Free shipping on every order, wherever you are. No minimum, no handling fee at checkout.
Orders are prepared in 1–3 business days. Every piece ships from a partner workshop or supplier overseas and usually takes 7–20 business days to arrive. This is an estimate, not a guarantee. Tracking arrives by email, and an order with several pieces can turn up in more than one parcel.
Changed your mind? You have 14 days. Write to us first and we'll send you the return address. Return shipping is paid by the customer, unless the piece arrived damaged or isn't what you ordered.
We work with solid wood, stone, glass and natural fibre, chosen for how they age rather than how they photograph. Every piece is finished by hand, so grain, tone and outline shift from one to the next.
A SMALL THING
A real piece of driftwood makes a good planter for about a season, until the damp gets into it. This one takes the look of weathered timber, the grain, the knots, the split ends, and gives it to cement, which does not mind wet soil.

MATERIAL & MAKING
Cast in cement and coloured to read as old timber. There is no wood in it.
Cast
The whole planter is cement. It does not soften or warp when the soil stays damp.
Textured
Knots, ridges and split edges are part of the casting, so they run across the whole surface.
Low
Wide and shallow, which suits plants with short roots: succulents, cacti, moss.
Small
16 cm long and 6.5 cm tall. It fits a windowsill, a desk or the corner of a shelf.
FROM THE WORKSHOP
“Some things only look right once they look old. The trick is to let a material that lasts do the ageing for you.

GOOD TO KNOW
A few things worth knowing before it arrives.
Yes. Use a cactus or succulent mix and water sparingly, as no drainage hole is listed.
Close. It is measured by hand, so allow for small differences.
Closely, but screens show colour differently, so expect small differences in tone.
Cement. Only the look is wood.


Made by hand
Every piece is shaped, sanded and finished in a small workshop. Grain, tone and outline move from one to the next, so the piece that arrives is yours rather than a copy of the photograph.
