Squat Reef Green Ceramic Tall Jar - Luxury Outdoor Living

Details at a Glance

This 37-inch ceramic jar is fired to withstand freeze-thaw cycles and sun exposure when placed under eaves or on covered patios, so it holds up where unfired terracotta would crack. The Emissary Squat Reef Green Ceramic Tall Jar, available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping, pairs weather-resistant construction with a hand-distressed reef green finish that looks aged from the day it arrives. At 138 pounds on an 18-inch square base, the piece stays grounded on tile, hardwood, or stone without anchoring hardware.

How Well Does Fired Ceramic Hold Up Under the Elements?

The ceramic body is fired at temperatures high enough to close the clay matrix, which lets it tolerate freeze-thaw cycles in covered outdoor areas where standing water is kept out. Direct sun exposure won't crack the material or fade the distressed finish, and the 138-pound heft resists wind shifts that topple lighter pieces. You still need an overhang or roof projection -- prolonged rain pooling inside the wide opening will eventually seep into unfilled crevices and cause trouble when temperatures drop.

Do You Need to Bring It Inside for Winter?

Leave it on the covered patio year-round as long as snow and rain can't enter the 18-inch opening; tipping the jar on its side to drain before the first freeze prevents ice expansion. If your porch is fully exposed, move it into the garage or wrap the opening with a breathable cover to block moisture while letting humidity escape. The rough distress finish is already weathered, so you won't see winter aging like you would on raw clay.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

The 37-inch height anchors an entryway corner or flanks seating in outdoor sofas and sectionals groupings without blocking sightlines across the yard. Pair it with shorter pieces from outdoor planters to create layered height on a console, or set it solo beside an outdoor fireplace where the distressed reef green pulls in coastal tones. The transitional silhouette bridges modern metal outdoor dining sets and rustic teak arrangements equally well.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this stay outside all year?

Yes, under a roof overhang or eave where rain and snow cannot collect inside the opening; the fired ceramic withstands freeze-thaw cycles in sheltered locations.

Will the finish fade in direct sun?

No -- the rough distress patina is applied before firing and holds its reef green tone through continuous UV exposure.

How do I store it over winter if my patio is fully exposed?

Move the jar into a garage or shed, or invert it on the deck to prevent water entry; the 138-pound weight requires two people to tip safely.

Is it suitable for a coastal or salt-air location?

Yes, fired ceramic resists salt corrosion; rinse the exterior monthly to prevent white deposits from accumulating in the distressed texture.

What size pampas grass stems fit a 37-inch jar?

48- to 60-inch stems work best, leaving 8 to 12 inches protruding above the rim for natural drape without top-heavy tipping.

How is the 138-pound jar shipped?

Free curbside freight delivery to the continental USA; the jar arrives crated with handling instructions, and you'll need help moving it from the curb to your patio.
