The Shanghai Fishbowl is a round fiberglass planter with a low, generous curve that sits close to the ground and reads as sculpture rather than storage. Wider than it is tall, it softens the hard lines of a terrace, a pool deck, or an entry without crowding the space around it.

Made from premium composite fiberglass, it stays light enough for one person to reposition yet strong enough to live outside year-round, through freezing winters and full sun, without cracking, rusting, or fading. The wide opening suits a low mound of seasonal color, a clipped boxwood, or a single specimen grass. Each Shanghai is finished to order in your chosen color and drilled for drainage only if you ask, so it arrives ready for the spot you have in mind.

Why this planter

Built to live outside

Every piece we carry is chosen to survive real weather and look considered for years, not seasons.

Built for weather

Made to live outside

Frost-proof, UV-stable fiberglass holds its color and shape through freezing winters and full sun.

Low and wide

Presence without height

Both sizes are wider than they are tall, so the bowl fills a corner and softens hard edges while keeping sightlines open.

Finished to order

Your color, your space

Each Shanghai is hand-finished in your chosen shade, so the color is part of the planter rather than a coat on top of it.

Finished to order

Finished in your color

Nothing here sits in a warehouse. Every planter is hand-finished in the color you choose, then shipped to your door.

Living with it

Care & placement

Placement

The Shanghai works indoors or outdoors in any climate. Its fiberglass body is frost-proof and UV-stable, so it can stay outside year-round without cracking or fading.

Drainage

Ordered without holes by default, so it can hold a liner or double as a cachepot. Add drilled drainage at checkout if you plan to plant directly (note: a drilled planter is final sale).

Care

Wipe clean with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive pads. In freezing climates, keep soil from sitting waterlogged over winter so trapped water cannot expand against the walls.

Handling

Fiberglass is light for its size, but a filled planter is heavy. Position it before planting, and lift from the base rather than the rim.

Frequently asked questions

Can the Shanghai Fishbowl stay outside year-round?

Yes. It's premium fiberglass, frost-proof and UV-stable, so it handles freezing winters and full sun without cracking or fading.

What size should I choose?

Two sizes. The 16" measures 16" across and 14" tall, with a 13.1" planting opening. The 22" measures 21.5" across and 19" tall, with a 17.2" opening. Both are wider than they are tall.

Does it come with drainage holes?

Not by default, so it can hold water or a liner. You can add drilled drainage on request; note a drilled planter is finished to order and non-returnable.

How heavy is it?

Fiberglass is light: about 11.4 lb for the 16" and 18.6 lb for the 22", empty. Both are easy for one person to carry and position before planting.

Can I use it indoors?

Yes. The Shanghai works indoors or outdoors, from lobbies and living rooms to patios, pool decks, and rooftops.

How long until it ships?

Each planter is finished to order in your chosen color and ships in about one to two weeks, with free US shipping.
