If
you're in the market for something truly unusual,
The
Potting Shed Antiques stocks Chimney Pots, which the English
once
used to top their chimneys.
Chimney Pots are earthenware pipes which fit on the top of a chimney to
prevent downdrafts.
They come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and styles. Glazed
or neutral finishes
feature colors of clay, buff, gray, brown or terra cotta.
Chimney pots are very popular among American gardeners, who are using
them as:
- garden ornaments
- plant stands
- lighting fixtures
- fountains
- unique bases for sundials or gazing balls
Sizes average from 30-36" high;
however, Chimney Pots can be as
small as 18" to as large as 6 feet. They can easily remain
outdoors year-round with no ill effects.
