A collection of assorted garden planters. The assortment of planters includes two square wooden planter boxes with decorative finial-style corner posts and several ceramic pieces. Notable items include a large terracotta style pot with a fluted exterior and matching saucer, a glazed green ceramic planter with a rolled rim, and a dark blue glazed ceramic planter with a contrasting terracotta-coloured rim. A plain terracotta pot and several smaller pots and saucers are also present. The planters contain various established plants including a citrus style tree, a dracaena, and multiple azaleas and hydrangeas. A white plant identification label is visible in one terracotta pot but the text is not legible.
Condition report:
The items show significant signs of outdoor use and weathering consistent with storage in a semi-protected environment. The terracotta and ceramic pots show heavy mineral deposits, moss growth, and dirt accumulation (photos 1 and 3). One large terracotta pot has a visible vertical crack running down the side (photo 2). The wooden planters show signs of dampness and wood weathering (photo 5). Several plants appear to be in poor health, with the hydrangeas and other specimens showing significant die-back and dried, brown foliage (photo 5). The citrus style tree exhibits yellowing in the leaves (photo 1).
