Description

Parallax Gallery Carved Stone Planter with Integrated Drip Tray

Exceptional maker-marked carved stone planter by Parallax Gallery (Startup, Washington), renowned for their hand-sculpted, one-of-a-kind stone vessels. Crafted from a single block of stratified natural stone, this two-piece design features an integrated drip tray seamlessly carved to align with the grain of the upper planter. The surface exhibits organic bands of gray, taupe, and ochre tones, finished with a smooth rim and hollowed basin — a hallmark of the gallery’s refined craftsmanship.

Parallax Gallery, led by artisan Bill Van Horn, is celebrated for transforming raw geology into functional art. Each piece is individually carved, never duplicated, and sold directly through the studio rather than mass production. Their two-piece functional planters retail between $120 and $800 USD, depending on size and complexity, with similar examples appearing in the secondary market around $250–$400. This piece, marked “ParallaxGallery.com,” represents the gallery’s sculptural philosophy — “the price is in the making.”

A superb example of contemporary stone artistry that bridges design and utility — ideal for collectors of modern studio ceramics, architectural decor, or Northwest artisan stonework.

Condition:

Excellent overall, showing minor evidence of prior use. Natural color and veining are intact with a clean interior and no structural flaws. The fitted drip tray aligns perfectly and separates smoothly. No chips, cracks, or repairs noted.
