Drip glaze planter in yellow and white glaze made by Frank Moreno Ceramics. We are unsure of the exact name or number for the planter, but it’s probably one of the 700s series, which were hexagon (or some say “UFO”) shaped.
There isn’t too much information on this Southern California potter, who made ceramics from the 1950s to 1980s, but his items are becoming more popular. Most Moreno items are a bit irregular, because they’ve been handthrown or handmade, although he did cast items in his later years. It’s been said that he was more concerned with getting a finished product than having a perfect shape or glaze finish.
This item, like most Moreno Ceramics pieces, has glaze pops and imperfections. There are no major cracks or chips. There is some minimal wear to the glaze and a few fleabites and pinholes around the top edge of the planter. Entire pot has crazing inside and out, most of the heavy crazing is in the interior of the pot since it’s definitely been used. Measures about 6.5 inches in diameter at top, about 9 inches in diameter at widest, and about 6.5 inches tall. Marked on bottom with faint stamp “Frank Moreno Ceramics U.S.A.” There is also a number, probably in the 700s, but we can’t see exactly what it reads.
NOTE: This is an extremely heavy item and will most likely have to be shipped as oversized.
