vintage large plant pots Late 19th–Early 20th Century Terracotta PlanterThis terracotta Anduze planter by Boisset dates to the late 19th to early 20th century. The classic baluster body rests on a waisted socle and molded foot, rising to an everted rim with a rounded lip. Applied garlands with rosette terminals frame a central shield cartouche bearing the Boisset name, while triple circumferential fillets articulate the lower belly. The clay shows a warm _terre cuite_ orange, with remnants of green and dark glaze now
This terracotta Anduze planter by Boisset dates to the late 19th to early 20th century. The classic baluster body rests on a waisted socle and molded foot, rising to an everted rim with a rounded lip. Applied garlands with rosette terminals frame a central shield cartouche bearing the Boisset name, while triple circumferential fillets articulate the lower belly. The clay shows a warm _terre cuite_ orange, with remnants of green and dark glaze now beautifully abraded, testifying to decades of outdoor use.
The Anduze form emerged in the 17th century in the pottery town of Anduze, in the Gard, inspired by Italian Medici urns and adapted to local faïence and terracotta traditions. Intended for citrus and myrtle in orangeries and formal parterres, these pots are easily recognized by their swelling profiles, festooned swags, and a potter’s medallion. The Boisset ateliers were among the most prominent of the 19th century, celebrated for their durable red clay bodies and green lead glazes that weather gracefully in the elements, producing the mottled patina so prized by gardeners and collectors today.
This planter brings sculptural gravitas to a terrace, loggia, or conservatory, ideal for a clipped boxwood, lemon tree, or olive standard. Indoors, it anchors an entry or garden room as a stand-alone accent, its rustic surface harmonizing with limestone, patinated metals, and Provençal textiles. Used to flank French doors or a fireplace, it introduces historic character and an unmistakable sense of the South of France.
Condition and patina consistent with age.

Happy Wanderer
Format: Flexibound
City Trails is not a guided walking tour (like the Freedom Trail here in Boston) of the Metro DC area. No addresses or street names are noted in the blurbs. To actually visit any of these places, you’ll have to consult a real map. For instance, the chapter “Statue City” highlights notable statuary around town. But the Capitol Building statues (in SE DC) are far from the Cathedral ones (in NW DC.) The themed groupings (G-G-G-Ghosts, Animals Around Town, Water World and more) are less maps to any place and more of an interesting overview of our Nation’s amazingly diverse and action-packed city. It’s best read as a primer on experiencing the flavor of the city (I lived and worked there.) It reads more along the lines of the “Weird But True” series made famous by National Geographic for Kids.
I don’t see this being of value to tourists in town for a limited time whose sightseeing is going to include major attractions like government buildings (White House, Capitol), museums (Smithsonian), some monuments (Jefferson, Lincoln, Washington) and other popular sites (Ford’s Theater.) This guide is actually best suited for the Metro-area (WDC, MD and VA) resident – child or adult - who wants a deeper dive into their hometown’s off-the-beaten-path sights and stories. A well designed and written book of historical trivia.

Nice way to learn about a trip to D.C.
Format: Flexibound
I got this for my kids to read before we went to Washington D.C. The pages are colorful, illustrated, and have short bursts of interesting details about the various attractions available to tourists who are visiting. My kids were eager to find the places on our itinerary and read about them ahead of time. They learned what to expect and were sure not to miss the important aspects of our tours. This book is recommended for 9 to 12 year olds and I think that is the perfect range. There is just enough information to peak their interest and not so much that they get bored by reading a bunch of text. The Table of Contents wasn't that informative in finding specific places, but the index was. My kids preferred to leaf through the whole book and find what was interesting to them.

Not good for travel, picture book only
Format: Flexibound
This is a beautiful book with fantastic illustrations and an engaging color palette. It includes a good variety of historical background information and sightseeing locations. However, it is a better picture book for browsing only. It is not a good travel book for kids to plan their own adventures. Who has ever heard of a travel book without maps?! No maps, no directions, no coordinating subway/bus maps. The printing is exceptionally small, almost too small to read. The book should have been made larger to accommodate the text. The text is excellent, but it printed as if the publisher never expected the kid/parent to read it. On one hand, our family really enjoyed how engaging the book appeared, but we were disappointed in its quality as a travel book. It shouldn’t be marketed as a travel book, but a geography book series.
