{"product_id":"marbled-pots-with-saucers","title":"Marbled Long Tom with Saucer","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis pot is inspired by traditional Long Tom shapes, which were popular in Victorian England for plants that needed extra room for deep roots.  I've given the traditional shape a bit more flair, and also added beading ornamentation under the rim.  Long toms are great for amaryllis, topiaries or tall grasses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarbled pottery, also referred to sometimes as agateware, has ancient roots, going all the way back to the Roman Empire (1st century BC to the 5th century AD).  Examples of marbled ware can also be found in pottery of the Tang Dynasty in China, (618-907 AD) the Persians, (9th to 13th centuries AD) and in 18th century Europe it gained wide popularity when taken to new heights by Josiah Wedgewood.  Simply put, marble ware uses a technique of combining contrasting colors of clay together, with the natural movement of each clay color creating a flowing pattern that is reminiscent of marble.  There are an infinite number of patterns that can be created this way, and no two pieces will ever be exactly the same.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandthrown by Peter in Rockdale, Wisconsin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFired to 2100 F°\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrainage hole allows for direct planting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor indoor and outdoor use, but store inside during winter months.  (If ice accumulates in an open flower pot, it may crack from the ice expansion.)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrice Includes UPS or USPS shipping to the Continental USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Wakefield Handmade","offers":[{"title":"#4 Approx. 6.5\" Top Diameter x 7.5\" Tall","offer_id":51315172442328,"sku":"4LT_Marble","price":114.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"#6 Approx. 7\" Top Diameter x 9\" Tall","offer_id":51315172475096,"sku":"6LT_Marble","price":143.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"#12 Approx. 9\" Top Diameter x 11\" Tall","offer_id":51315172540632,"sku":"12LT_Marble","price":178.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0595\/7235\/5253\/files\/Marble_Beauty.jpg?v=1769011811","url":"https:\/\/www.wakefieldhandmade.com\/en-ca\/products\/marbled-pots-with-saucers","provider":"Wakefield Handmade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
