Stan Bitters Scratch Pot for Hans Sumpf

These original large scale Stan Bitters ceramic Scratch pots have a presence that embodies the California landscape and an essence that artfully complements the plants they hold. Hand-built and organic, these pots conjure up images of the master ceramicist at work. The irregularity of the shape makes it a perfect addition to bring the outside in.

Signature can be seen on the inside.
