Pallava Stoneware Planter

Pallava, meaning 'new leaves and shoots' in Sanskrit, captures the eternal moment of spring's first bloom. This extraordinary planter celebrates the tender beauty of emerging life through its crown of hand-carved flowers and the graceful strength of supporting branches.

The vessel tells a story of growth and flourishing - three sturdy branches rise from the earth to cradle a generous bowl, their organic forms echoing the natural architecture of trees supporting abundant blossoms. Along the rim, a continuous garland of individually carved flowers creates a delicate frame, each petal shaped by patient hands to form an unbroken circle of perpetual bloom.

Warm terracotta tones ground the piece in earthen authenticity, while cascading orange glazes trace paths like golden pollen or morning dew. The interplay between the structured floral rim and fluid glaze creates a dynamic surface that shifts between control and spontaneity - much like nature itself.
Master ceramist Saroj Rout has created more than a planter; this is a meditation on growth, where the vessel itself embodies the cycle of sprouting, supporting, and flowering. Whether hosting a prized plant or standing alone as sculptural art, Pallava brings the poetry of the garden indoors
