It's been awhile since I've checked the Seibert and Rice catalogue for new terracotta containers — and there are some very nice ones I've missed along the way.
Some might call them petrified stumps — but they're actually planters designed by landscape architect Mario Nievera — he calls them "faux bois" garden ornaments. They'd fit, obviously, in any natural garden setting. Two sizes: 17"x18" high and 20"x30" high.

Nievera also designed this Chippendale bamboo box, which he says is large enough (at 23.5" wide and 20.5" high) for citrus trees, topiaries, standards, and multi-flowered combinations.
Artist, writer and gardener Abbie Zabar designed this lovely planter inscribed with critters, "homage," she says, "to my co-workers in the garden." Flying critters are along the top rim, crawlers on the bottom. Size 14" x 21" high.
And finally, this 12×12" cloche from renowned interior designer Bunny Williams, who's also a devoted gardener. It's simple, with clean lines and would be perfect atop a low wall or on the patio.
