The tall glass in the garden toast, holding her ferns up to the light.
Greta is a goblet planter in iron, her deep flute shaped cup gently dimpled like beaten metal and carried on a slender stem with a ribbed collar at its waist. The stem flares into a tall cone base, and she wears a speckled, aged finish from rim to floor.
At 91.5cm she is the taller of the two goblet sisters, lifting a fern or trailing plant almost to waist height beside a door, along a verandah, or standing a step behind Granada in a staggered pair.
Why we love it
◆The height, nearly a metre of slender iron that turns a plant into a statement
◆The dimpled cup, a softly textured flute that catches the light as you pass
◆The ribbed collar, a turned knuckle partway down the stem
◆The speckled finish, weathered browns and greys like old garden stone

How to style it
Greta likes to be seen over the top of things.
Let her fern crest above a garden bench or balustrade
Stand her a step behind Granada so their cups stagger like raised glasses
Mix her with pieces from our home accents collection
Stylist's TipGive her the corner where two paths of sight cross, the spot you see from the kitchen window and the back door both. A tall planter earns her keep by being unmissable.
Care & Keeping
Dust with a soft dry brush and keep her under cover if she lives outdoors. Sit a nursery pot inside the cup rather than filling her with soil, and carry her by the stem and base together.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is she made of?
Iron from cup to cone, finished in a speckled aged brown grey that gives her the look of a piece found in an old French garden.
What size pot fits the cup?
The cup is around 15.5cm across at the rim, so a small nursery pot sits neatly inside. Trailing plants and compact ferns are the happiest match.
Is she steady at that height?
Her cone base is broad relative to the slender stem. Give her a flat, level spot out of strong wind and keep the planting light rather than loading the cup with heavy wet soil.
Is there a shorter version?
Yes. Granada is the same goblet at 79.5cm, and the two are made to stand together with their cups at different heights.
Will mine look exactly like the photos?
Very close. The speckled finish is applied by hand, so the mottling shifts a little from piece to piece, which is part of the intended character.
Because Greta is hand-finished, slight variations in patina, texture, and grain are natural and add to the unique character of each piece. Colour may also vary slightly between screens, all photography is taken in natural light.

I have never been a clock-watcher, but all that changed with Maude. I can't stop looking at her. Out of the box, slip in an AA battery and on to the wall, just like that! She is simply gorgeous.
This is a present for my horse loving daughter in law. I'm sure it will take pride of place on her mantle piece. Again I love this Web site which I will be visiting often.
Found this beautiful elegant Swan for my garden online via a search at Chateau Living. A great price, quality and excellent ordering and delivery. Would definitely purchase from this business again. They have such a beautiful variety of products.
It was my testing the waters first purchase to check out this new store & what’s on offer. I loved the idea of supplying cast iron cute animal figurines as they’re practical, good looking, solid durable material, great rust finish (no need to buy expensive rust effect paint). Just ready to weather and brings a smile on your dial. I placed my frog with his hands up as if in religious praying gesture next to the concrete funny sign scored at Vinnies reading: grant me patience Lord but hurry - I believe the praying frog and the sign go comically together. I’m thinking of getting the other frog too in its hilarious pose possibly in green patina for contrast. I can confirm it’s heavy cast iron with attractive rust patina. These casts fill the gap in the market dominated by laser cut cortina steel offerings. Just something old school different and complimentary to your garden /house decor. Pleased it’s introduced to Australian market and once for change not made in China… but in France known for its cast iron tradition. We own 18th century French anvil won at an antique auction which is our proud possession so happy to score more in heavy casts.
This may not show on the store website that well but they’re actually old gold colour. It’s lightweight thin metal so perhaps inside or sheltered outdoor space would suit them the best as it may rust out & some fragile parts of the tail break exposed to the weather. They’re as large as described, cleverly designed for packaging - legs are separate with tightening screw. They make an impact due to their size & fit almost any decor with the colour & style.
I was so happy with Chateau Living. Brilliant customer service & speedy delivery. How lucky we are to have an Australian option giving us all these beautiful items for our homes. Highly recommend
I bought this piece as I could see it in my mind's eye having an suspended impact with my high end Brazilian quartz crystal display. Such a well made piece, sturdy and if I didn't know better, from another time. I am planning a candle holder from Chateau Living to complete this display, just having trouble deciding from the elegant range they have available. Very pleased :) Who would have thought you could combine Brazil with French Provincial so perfectly.
