Description

Salt Glazed Herb Planter Trough 23 L”

This reclaimed, antique salt glazed Herb Planter brings agricultural history and practical design together in one durable, characterful piece. Made for growing herbs in compact spaces, its trough form is both functional and distinctive. Rounded at both ends and gently tapered like a traditional plant pot, it offers an extended sowing area along its 23-inch length. With a width of 9 inches and depth of 5 inches, it suits shallow-rooted herbs like basil, thyme and oregano perfectly.

Salt glazing is a traditional ceramic technique dating back to the 15th century. It involves throwing salt into the kiln during firing. This creates a hard, glassy surface with a slightly pitted texture. The result is both attractive and highly resistant to water, weather and staining. That makes this salt glazed Herb Planter not just beautiful, but ideal for long-term garden use.

Weighing 20 kilograms, this is a heavy and stable trough. It won’t tip easily and can withstand changing weather outdoors. Three drainage holes along the base allow excess water to escape, helping herbs thrive. The worn, unglazed feet at each end speak to its age and former use. These small details give this salt glazed Herb Planter a rustic, well-used appearance that enhances its agricultural roots.

Practical Heritage

Reclaimed antique pieces like this bring authenticity and sustainability to a garden. Instead of buying new, using an old piece reduces waste and preserves historic craftsmanship. This salt glazed Herb Planter carries with it the marks of decades past—scuffs, weathering, and colour variations that mass-produced pots simply don’t offer.

Whether placed on a balcony, greenhouse bench or garden table, it introduces history and structure to your growing space. You can line up herbs in rows, or mix varieties for a soft, spilling effect. The salt glazed Herb trough offers long-term use, a story already written, and space to grow something new.
