I love this head plant pot. I ordered a custom colour, black and it looks amazing. I several African head planters now, but would buy this again if I need another.

  1. I absolutely LOVE it!!! This is my second planter, same design, purchased from this shop because of my love for the first one. However, this time I requested a custom color, lime green, and they nailed it. Customer service is awesome! They showed me a picture/swatch of the lime green they had on hand, but still inquired as to whether or not I had something else in mind…theirs was/is perfect.

    Although a delay in shipping time is to be expected because of being a hand made item and being shipped from another Country to the US, the wait time was not bad at all….and it was well worth it.

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️

  3. Absolutely BEAUTIFUL! This is such a beautifully painted and well made planter. I love the overall design and how solid it is. The opening for a plant is pleasantly, and surprisingly, much larger than you’d think at approximately 6inches wide. I placed a 5inch planter with a plant in it, with room to spare. Although you can, I will not be planting a plant directly in it because it’s way too nice (pretty) and a true one of a kind collectors item. Again, it’s BEAUTIFUL! I love it!🥰

    Friendly and supportive customer service. Lee was extremely helpful, responsive to all my questions prior to purchase, and very kind. (Thank you Lee! You’re greatly appreciated!)

    The planter was packaged very well for shipping, and arrived safe and sound.

    My only regret is that I didn’t order more than one. But, I look forward to my next purchase.😊
