Love this blue ceramic planter: color is exactly as depicted in web page photos (lovely gradual shading from deep to lighter blue, like bayage haircoloring). I have it outdoors on my deck in full sun for over a year now (and also sitting out there empty in freezing winter weather) and the glaze still looks fresh/new. Love that it has a stand, both attractive extra elevation & keeps pot from sitting on my wood deck.  I do wish it had a drainage hole but otherwise it is perfect!
