Ancaris Ring Handcrafted Ceramic Patio Accent Table

Details at a Glance

Glazed ceramic handles sun and rain season after season without the rust, rot, or fade you'll see in metal or wicker side tables. The Ancaris Ring handcrafted ceramic patio accent table from Seasonal Living -- available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping -- arrives ready to use, standing 24.5 in. tall with a 25 in. square top that won't tip in wind. Two gloss-finish combinations give you metallic aquamarine or linen looks that stay sharp outdoors.

How Well Does Glazed Ceramic Hold Up in Sun and Rain?

The glaze baked onto this ceramic table resists UV rays, so the color won't fade through summers of direct sun. Rain sheets off the non-porous surface without soaking in, and the scratch-resistant finish holds up to chair legs, planters, and everyday patio use. At 86 pounds, it stays put during storms -- no flipping or blowing away. The handmade construction means subtle texture and color variation from one table to the next, which comes from the artisan process rather than any weakness in durability.

Do You Have to Bring It Inside for Winter?

You can leave this table out year-round in most climates, though you should protect it from severe freezing if you're in a region with prolonged hard frost. The glaze itself handles moisture and temperature swings, but ceramics can crack if water sits in crevices and freezes repeatedly. If you store it over winter, just wipe it down and cover it or move it into a shed or garage. Otherwise, rinse dust and debris off monthly to keep the glaze looking clean -- no sealing or oiling needed.
