Ardmore Ceramic Art - Crocodile Planter

An Ode to the Everglades - Collected - Expressive  

A glazed ceramic planter featuring dimensional crocodiles layered over a vibrant coral-red ground with hand-painted tropical botanicals. Bold color contrast, intricate patterning, and high-relief detailing give the piece a distinctive tropical-maximalist character.

How to Style 

• lush green plant—a fern, trailing philodendron, or sculptural palm would emphasize its tropical character. 
• A dark wood console, burl pedestal, travertine table, or lacquered side table and surround it with quieter materials such as brass, natural wood, or neutral books.
• It would be especially striking in an entryway, living room, sunroom, or covered patio.

Why you'll love it 

Rather than perfectly matched, this combination of hand-painted botanical imagery and the three-dimensional crocodile gives it an almost functional-art quality—it’s a planter, but it also reads as a small sculpture.
