Mediterranean Planters for Outdoor Spaces

The Antique Series takes inspiration from the simple shapes and aged character of traditional Mediterranean planters.

The collection includes olive jar shapes, rounded pots and tall planters such as Halikarnassos, Gobeklitepe and Limyra. These styles work especially well around stucco, stone, wood and other natural materials commonly used in Mediterranean and traditional landscapes.

They don't have to be used only in traditional settings. An antique-style planter can also work well against a modern exterior where you want something warmer and less uniform.

Where Can You Use Antique Outdoor Planters?

Entrances & Walkways

Tall or large antique planters work well beside front doors, gates and walkways. Use one as a standalone planter or place two matching planters on either side of an entrance.

Patios & Courtyards

Olive jars and rounded planters are a natural fit for patios and courtyards. They can be planted with small trees, shrubs or greenery, or used on their own as decorative pieces.

Gardens

Use antique garden planters between planting beds, along pathways or in areas that need more height. Mixing two or three planter sizes can also make a large garden area feel less empty.

Commercial Spaces

The larger planters in this collection can also be used at hotels, restaurants, offices and other commercial properties. They're a good option for entrances, patios, courtyards and outdoor seating areas where standard-size pots may look too small.

Choosing the Right Antique Planter

For an olive tree: Look at the larger olive jar and rounded styles. Check the planter dimensions and planting space before choosing your size.

For an entrance: Tall planters work well beside doors and gates. Matching pairs are useful when you want a more balanced look.

For a patio: Medium and large rounded planters are easier to group with outdoor furniture and other pots.

For a large open area: Choose a larger planter rather than several small pots. It will usually be better proportioned to the surrounding space.

For a Mediterranean-style garden: Olive jar shapes work particularly well with olive trees, citrus, rosemary, lavender and similar planting.

GFRC Antique Planters

The planters in the Antique Series are made from GFRC (Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete).

GFRC is used to produce large concrete-style planters without relying on the same construction as traditional solid concrete pots. This makes it well suited to larger planter shapes and outdoor applications.

Depending on the planter, River Art Stone offers different sizes, colors, finishes and drainage options. Check the individual product page for the available options before ordering.

FAQs

What are antique outdoor planters made of?

River Art Stone's antique planters are made from GFRC (Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete), a lightweight concrete composite that replicates the look of aged stone, clay, or terracotta without the weight or fragility. Unlike real stone, GFRC won't crack in frost, is safe for rooftop installation, and requires virtually no maintenance.

Are GFRC antique planters suitable for outdoor use year-round?

Every planter in the Antique Series is frost-proof, UV-stable, and fire-resistant, making them built for permanent outdoor placement across all US climates from cold northeast winters to intense California sun.

What is the difference between GFRC and real stone planters?

Real stone planters can weigh 3–5x more than GFRC, are prone to cracking in freezing temperatures, and are nearly impossible to reposition once placed. GFRC antique planters deliver the same aged, textured character while being lightweight enough for rooftops, lobbies, and high-traffic commercial entrances.

Are these planters suitable for hotels, restaurants, and commercial properties?

Yes. The Antique Series is regularly specified for hotel entrances, restaurant courtyards, office lobbies, and retail exteriors. They are fire-resistant, frost-proof and built for high-traffic environments. Wholesale and bulk pricing is available; contact the team for a custom quote.

What sizes are available and what do they cost?

The Antique Series ranges from small accent pieces through to large statement planters, priced from $389 to $1,899. For entrances and open patios, the larger sizes deliver the scale needed to make a real visual impact. Custom dimensions are also available for commercial projects.

Do antique planters ship free across the US?

Yes. All planters in this collection include free shipping to anywhere in the continental US, no hidden freight charges at checkout, even for the largest pieces.

Do you have large antique outdoor planters?

Yes. The collection includes several large antique planters as well as tall and oversized styles suitable for entrances, gardens, courtyards and larger outdoor spaces.
