Inside or out
Non-porous fiberglass with a UV-resistant finish: it does not absorb the water that expands on freezing, so it holds its shape through winter and its color through summer.

If it arrives damaged
Inspect the shipment before you sign. If it arrives visibly damaged or not intact, you may refuse it. If you accept it, note the damage on the bill of lading or delivery receipt before signing — to the boxes, the planter, or the packing material. You are entitled to open each box and inspect the goods; if the driver will not wait, write on the paperwork that you could not check for concealed damage. Report it to us in writing within 2 business days of delivery at customerservice@sereneyards.com, with photos of the damage, the cartons and the packing material, and keep all packaging until the claim is resolved. Damage noted at delivery and reported this way is covered — contact us and we'll make it right, either by replacing the planter or refunding you. Damage not noted at the time of delivery is much harder to resolve, because the carrier claim depends on that record. Full details are in our Shipping Policy.

Shanghai Fishbowl Planter - 16" / Matte Bright White is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
A bellied planter usually narrows at the mouth. The Shanghai swells out and then flares back, finishing on a shallow collar wider than the shoulder below it.
The consequence is practical rather than decorative. On most shapes like this the opening is the tightest point, and getting a root ball in means working it through a neck. Here the mouth is eighty percent or more of the full width, so a plant goes in and comes out whole. It makes a bellied planter behave like an open one.
Both sizes are wider than they are tall, sixteen by fourteen and twenty-one and a half by nineteen. At that proportion it sits at about knee height and fills a corner or the end of a run without cutting across a sightline, which is the argument for a low round shape over a tall one in a small space. Eleven and a half pounds empty in the smaller size, so it can be moved and tried in two places before it is planted. Non-porous, so it does not take up the water that expands on freezing, and hand-finished to order in the color you choose.
Every size ships ground.
Due to the handmade nature of our products, weights and dimensions may vary slightly.
A full, rounded bowl on a small foot.
Every piece we carry is chosen to last, indoors or out, and look considered for years, not seasons.
Non-porous fiberglass with a UV-resistant finish: it does not absorb the water that expands on freezing, so it holds its shape through winter and its color through summer.
Both sizes are wider than they are tall, so the bowl fills a corner and softens hard edges while keeping sightlines open.
Each Shanghai is hand-finished in your chosen shade, so the color is specified to the space rather than chosen from what is in stock. The finish is an automotive-grade, UV-resistant paint system.
Every planter is finished to order in the color you choose, then shipped to you.
Twenty standard finishes, hand-finished to order in the color you choose. Custom colors are available on request. On-screen color is a guide and can vary slightly from the finished paint.
