Rare (and Perfect) Matte Gray Mid-Century Zanesville Ribbed Planter steel painted object So many context in whichI've bought and sold a handful of mid century Zanesville ribbed planters and vases over the years of various sizes, and every time I find one think how good they are. I've never seen one in matte gray (charcoal, really) like this though, and think it's extra good. A perfect smallish planter. 5 1 2" in diameter x 4 5 16" t and in great vintage condition, no chips, cracks or other issues.
