This attractive polished brass planter or pot by "Petals" features a hexagonal pattern pressed into the sides. It is recommended for artificial plants or only with a waterproof liner if using for live plants. The item measures 5 7/8" in diameter and 4 1/8" high. It does have some very pale discolorations in the brass, as pictured in photos 2 & 3. These do not polish out, so it likely has a lacquer coating. It has maintained its luster for many years.
