The bottom of the pot is glazed both inside & outside, & only the top part of the insert is glazed, the bottom part of the insert is not glazed. This allows the plant to absorb water directly through the pot wall. Water the African violet by lifting out the insert & pour water directly in the bottom pot. The over all size of this pot is 6 square x 3 3/4 tall, the planting area (cup size of the insert) is 2 3/4 square x 3 deep. I do all the pouring, cleaning, painting & firing of all pieces made. All pieces are hand poured using an earthenware clay slip. Once they have set up then they are removed from the mold, cleaned, painted & kiln fired. 2 firings are required, the bisque firing then the glaze firing.

(NOTE: Since the latest change in USPS postage rates went into effect the shipping cost of USPS Parcel Select Ground has increased drastically on larger packages.
