Our exclusive line of decorative and versatile Copperglass Planters marries the rich color of copper with the lightweight durability of fiberglass, utilizing the positive qualities of both materials. Because they are handcrafted of fiberglass, Copperglass Planters can be enjoyed indoors as beautiful cachepots or outdoors in any climate. The planters are extremely frost resistant and can be easily drilled for drainage. Our proprietary method of finishing with a layer of real copper creates the elegant look of solid metal without the excessive weight. As with traditional copper planters, Copperglass Planters will naturally oxidize over time, creating stunning patinas and a more natural copper look. Handcrafted and hand finished, each planter is slightly unique in color gradation, creating a one of a kind piece for home or garden.

I noticed there are no drainage holes. Have you thought about putting some in?
We do not put in drainage holes because some people want to use our planters indoors as decorative cachepots. If you choose to plant directly into the pot, you should first use a regular household drill with a 1-2" wood drill bit to allow for drainage in the bottom. Simply turn the planter over, placing it on a non-abrasive surface such as an old piece of carpet or grass, and drill downwards into the planter base. As with all drilling, be sure to take any necessary safety precautions, including, but not limited to, wearing goggles.
Are your flowerpots indoor/outdoor?
Yes! Because Copperglass Planters are made of fiberglass, they are indoor/outdoor and will not crack under tough winter climates. If you should decide to leave your planter outdoors, be sure to add a drainage hole(s).
Will the copper color chip or scratch?
We use a proprietary process to finish the planter with real copper. Each planter is then coated with a protective sealant. Under normal care the copper should not chip or scratch. However, under certain abusive circumstances it can occur. As with other valuable items, please use care when moving and handling your planters to maintain their longevity.
Special care should be taken to prevent the copper-finished base of the planter from scratches or chipping. Be sure not to drag the planter across hard, rough surfaces such as cement or rocks. Should you discover a chip or scratch, make sure not to pick at the affected area, for that may aggravate the problem. Instead, immediately use epoxy or other bonding glue made for use with fiberglass products to repair the chip or scratch.
Will the color fade? Do I need to polish my flowerpot often?
The copper finish will not fade, but as it is real copper, it will continue to patina and change color as it ages.
To restore shine, buff out minor blemishes, or adjust the patina, rub your planter with a stiff rag or fine steel wool (#000). After buffing or cleaning your planter, you can apply a hard floor wax spray, clear acrylic paint or silicone sealer to slow down patina development.
