Willy Guhl Molar Planters
Scarce pair of molar planters, designed by Willy Guhl for Eternit. The arched triangular form cheekily resembles a tooth, adding a playful element to their robust design. These garden planters are sculpted from fibrous cement, known for its strength and durability. In very nice condition, they feature their original garden patina, making them striking vessels for plants. A chip on one edge adds to their charm and character. Switzerland, 1960s.
