A handmade hanging planter pot with surface transfer print design, inspired by a combination of English Architectural styles and elements from Victorian floor tile patterns and Eastern floral prints.   Great to be used as a planter pot for succulents and the pot comes ready strung for hanging using strong twine with a length of 55cm. The length of the twine can be altered by tying it shorter within the pot to make the piece hang at a shorter length if desired.   The pot measures 8.3cm high x 9.5cm wide.   Please note there may be a slight variation in the colour shown due to different firings and print runs. Plant not included.   The Planter can be hung from a wall using screw in hooks or you can purchase a dowel hook with the pot which is an additional £2.50.  See images for details.   The dowel hook  measures 8.5cm x 1.2cm which when screwed into a wall allows enough room for the pot to hang on it away from the wall. The hook comes with a double ended screw in so it is ready to be screwed straight into your wall.
