It was very exciting the other day to find that select pieces from concrete artist Richard Taylor are now being offered exclusively through Pottery Barn! All the pieces bear his name and Pottery Barn has done a terrific job of crediting his talent in their descriptions:"After years of experimentation, English artist Richard Taylor perfected the difficult craft of mold making. His artistry allows him to create original pieces that showcase his great skill and eye for detail. Made from his original molds with details that are hand carved by Richard, our planters feature two rounded handles and a decorative double ridge."
The Handled Planters above are available in 4 sizes, ranging from $12 - $99.
Fluted Urn - $14
Leaf Planters - available in 2 sizes, $16 - 29.
and this very cute bird on a metal stick for $6.
Although it says Richard's pieces are available online and in the catalog, at my local Pottery Barn (Arlington-Clarendon) they had a nice selection of the Handled Planters and the Fluted Urn. The finish and texture are great and the aged look sets these pieces apart. In honor of Richard's work being carried by Pottery Barn, I'm having a giveaway. The winner will have a choice of the Fluted Urn or a small Handled Planter or Leaf Pot. Just leave a comment by Monday night 9 pm Eastern.
*UPDATE* - Jean of the blog Downsizing in San Francisco is the winner. Congrats Jean!

These are so cute. I like the bird. My "local" PB is an hour away in Richmond so I'll have to wait to get a first hand look.
Love these pots. A great giveaway just in time for spring!
Thanks- love any of the pots or birds!
Bring on Spring and playing in the dirt....

the pots are beautiful!
are they resin or actual clay?!
they look like something the dearly departed Smith & Hawkin would have carried..... with the arrival of Spring around the corner (at least I hope;) I'm really missing S&H!
happy weekend!

Gorgeous pots. Thanks for letting me know the Clarendon pottery barn is carrying them.
These are lovely. would look terrific at my front gate.
Guess I didn't know you were up in my old stomping grounds! The Clarendon PB is a great store and I love that whole little village! Good to know on these pottery pieces.
Beautiful pots, just like us bloggers, who get better with age
Just found your blog! Wonderful! What a great to find it...giveaway day! :) Love them all!
I never win anything!! I am re-doing my garden and the leaf pot would be a charished addition!! Thanks for the chance.
Beautiful!
As one who has grappled with making molds, I can see where these pots posed a technical challenge.
Congrats to Richard Taylor for creating a beautiful and affordable line !
Lovely. It actually was painful to be in France in December and not be able to bring some of the beautiful urns we saw home with us. Luggage restrictions be damned!
Love your blog! I love the planters! I garden and alway love unusual planters for the house and porch. that bird is so charming! I am going to Pottery Barn to shop when I am finished with this post!
i love pottery barn- their items never cease to amaze me with their intricate details and beautiful design which is also the epitome of simplicity. thks for a great blog!

That's a tough choice but I'm up for the challenge.
I love pottery gardening! It makes it so easy to move your plants around at a whim! I hope I win - michelle v.
Will look for pots this spring when I get to PB(1.5 hours away). Cement is a wonderful garden pot material, unbreakable, grows moss well. I like the fluted urn best of your choices, but they're all charming.
oh i just love this give away!
Love the planters! Such a fun give away for the coming spring time!
Wonderful giveaway! just in time for Spring!

Joni
I'm so ready for spring and this is just what the doctor ordered!
So beautiful! Thank you for hosting this nice giveaway!
These are beautiful! I love lots of different styles and sizes of pots outdoors. When hurricane season comes and we have one bearing down on the Texas coast, I drag them into my garage one at a time, swearing I must start giving them away as gifts. I never do though. I love them all.
Love, love, love the pots! The little bird on a stick is just too cute! These would look fantastic on a deck! Hmmm........
I hadn't opened my catalogue yet..thanks for letting us know. I love his work. Lovely giveaway...count me in. Cheers.
These are all so gorgeous - what a lovely idea for a giveaway! :)
Beautiful! i love the Leaf pot! Thanks for the chance!

These are so wonderful! Thanks for having this wonderful giveaway.
I have to admit that I'd never heard of this designer, but I love the simple, classic lines of these pots.
These pots are fabulous! Thanks for the find. I would love to win!
