Dimensions: 36” H x 24” W x 24” D
An exceptional cast-stone planter dating to Victorian England, based on the “Medici Vase” from ancient Greece, once in the collection of the prestigious family now at the Uffizi in Florence.

The urn rests on a square plinth to give it a stronger sense of balance and permanence in any indoor or outdoor setting. The pale, reconstituted stone has developed an organic patina with soft variation in spotted grayscale, which adds definition and emphasis on the beautiful proportions.
