An unexpected garden treasure, where everyday inspiration meets creative craftsmanship.

Handcrafted by Breck Armstrong of Moss Studios, this one-of-a-kind concrete trough is a wonderful example of an artist's imagination at work. Using an ordinary tray as the starting point for his mold, Breck incorporated pieces of wood to create the distinctive architectural corners and stepped details that give this piece its unusual character.

The substantial concrete construction, softly weathered finish, and beautifully imperfect surface give the trough the appearance of an old garden artifact discovered after years outdoors.

Designed for garden use, this versatile piece can hold water or be filled with succulents, seasonal greenery, moss, or small potted plants. Its long, shallow proportions also make it especially lovely as a decorative garden centerpiece. Equally charming indoors, it would be beautiful on a garden table, kitchen island, or console.
