This planter was a gift from my uncle Darvin Luginbuhl, made in his home pottery studio. (With an apology to my cousin Gregg if he was the potter of this piece. Their work was sometimes, but not always, similar.)
Both were professors at Bluffton University. Darvin's first studio there was on the third floor, and he carried many bags of clay up the stairs. There is now a lovely light-filled building with a pottery studio and art classrooms.
Both gifted me a few pieces, and one of my regrets is that I didn't buy a few more.
Yesterday I strung wire through the three loops and planted a sweet potato vine, with hopes that the vine will soon cascade down.
I'm beginning to appreciate a touch of whimsey in the garden. Soon I'll show you a toad house, one of my favorite pieces.
