Small round planter executed in fiber cement, distinguished by a gently flared profile and balanced proportions characteristic of Willy Guhl's restrained modernist vocabulary. The compact sculptural form is enhanced by a richly weathered surface and natural patina, reflecting decades of outdoor use. A refined example of mid-century garden design combining durability with understated elegance. Height: 9 in. Diameter: 20 in.
