Anglo Eastern Trading (5A52) have a new range of plastic Chinese planters and baskets, soms hand-painted and others featuring a ‘glazed’ wipe-clean surface, believed to be a first in the UK market.  

Sales Director Nigel Guffogg is pictured with the Ruby Red and Midnight Blue versions of the impressive Aegean Bowl range, available in seven different warm Mediterranean colours. The composition is a mixture of clay and recycled plastics – environmentally friendly as well resistant to climate extremes.

 The planters come in a range of sizes from 3 litres to 40 litres, some with a label slot on the rim. Standard colours are terracotta and green but vibrant primary colours and earthy tones also feature. Bespoke tooling and specific Pantone colours are available to order.

Guffogg says the hand-painted lines fulfill a need for something different and unique. “It will evolve over the coming years,” he said.
