Hand made using a hard clay, then molded into a hard copy plaster to create a permanent hard copy mold. Cast into my own hand made silicone rubber mold using water, a mix of fine sand and cement, concrete color. De molded then hand detailed and finished using a fine metal instruments,painted using the finest exterior paint and and an added coat of water based concrete sealer for a smooth, classic finish. This classic Aphrodite Goddess style planter is the newest piece that I completed at the end of 2020. Aphrodite is the Greek version of Venus, who is the Roman Goddess of love,war and marriage.I have adorned her with a band of roses in her hair,which only adds to her timeless beauty. I am constantly challenging myself to create and new pieces that inspire my creativity and pieces that are not only beautiful but also can function well for everyday living. She is deep enough to be used as a vase, great for housing a deep rooted indoor or outdoor plants such as orchids, ivies and petunias, begonias etc. Made of the highest quality concrete, so she is good to leave outdoors until fall. Must be taken indoors for winter protection from the cold and keep from freezing and thawing. Picture# 1 to 6 is Marble White Finish and pic# 7 to 10 is Stone Washed Finish.She makes a lovely sculptural piece of art on her own. She measures "9.5" H by "7.5"W at bottom of base by "5.5" D outside top of hair line. Inside planting depth is "4" Deep at top of head and "5"Deep for planting, which means she can hold a "3.5" to a "4" deep potted plant or you can plant directly into pot. She looks great displayed on a bathroom vanity, a window sill, center of a table indoors or out, orders and just as pretty on a hall way table, etc. PLEASE CONTACT SELLER FOR A QUOTE TO SHIP INTERNATIONAL, I.E ASIA, UK, AUSTRALIA, ETC.
