Description: Victorian era conch shell folk art planter, flower pot. When found, a descendant of the original maker had put potting soil in the upturned ring of shells at top from which a variety of vines were GROWING. Larger plants were growing up from inside the pot. Drainage hole in bottom center. The shells are graduated in size, top rows are the largest; shell sizes decrease towards the base. "Feet" on the bottom of the pot are specially selected small shells in reversed position forming a ring of "feet". All shells are mounted with concrete. Neighbors said the pot had come down through the owners family and had always been prominently displayed on the owner's front porch that wrapped around the Victorian house. Weight before packing is 13 pounds. Ships double boxed.
