The Scalamandre zebra quatrefoil planter is for all of us, design adventurers. Featuring the iconic blue denim "zebras" Scalamandre pattern, the porcelain centerpiece planter is shaped to hold four---6" diameter plant containers. Perfect with a spray of white orchids or assorted green plants the container is accented with dark pewter finished metal feet. We also suggest using the planter for fresh flowers--as it holds water; or for entertaining as a wine bucket. Simply line the bottom with a towel or bubble cushion for protection, then add ice. Perfect on the buffet sideboard A little background history: Originally designed in the 1940s for the Gino of Capri restaurant, lovingly known as "Ginos" by New Yorkers, Scalamandre restored the Zebras wallcovering in the upper east side institution in the 1970s after it was destroyed in a fire. Flora Scalamandre, wife of Franco, free-handed the signature motif that would come to know as the iconic Sclamandre zebras. The pattern has been celebrated the world over in design and the movies. It was featured in the "Royal Tenenbaums" and "Mightly Aphrodite". Pattern design has grown in color offerings and mediums.
