Vulliamy Vase Planter

Large Cast Stone Urn Planter – Vulliamy Vase by Nichols Bros.

Make a grand statement in your garden or landscape with the Vulliamy Vase, a large cast stone urn planter inspired by timeless European design. Featuring a beautifully sculpted egg and dart rim, this architectural garden urn delivers classic elegance and substantial presence for entryways, patios, courtyards, and formal landscapes.

Crafted by Nichols Bros. Stoneworks, this urn is made from premium dry cast stone, a material prized for its refined texture, durability, and resemblance to natural cut limestone. Unlike standard concrete, cast stone offers a denser composition and superior finish, making it ideal for high-end garden and architectural applications.

Using the Vibrant Tamp Method, Nichols Bros. produces each piece with zero-slump concrete that is tightly compacted for exceptional strength, weather resistance, and long-term performance. Reinforcement with galvanized aircraft cable and steel adds structural integrity to larger forms like this substantial urn.

Perfect as a large outdoor planter for flowers, topiary, or seasonal displays, the Vulliamy Vase combines old-world beauty with modern engineering.

Why Choose Cast Stone Over Concrete?

Nichols Bros. cast stone is manufactured from:

• White Portland cement

• Graded natural or manufactured aggregates

• Inorganic iron oxide pigments (when color is added)

• Performance admixes and glass fibers

• Precision curing methods developed over 20+ years

The result is a garden urn planter that offers enhanced strength, abrasion resistance, and weather tolerance while maintaining the rich look and feel of carved stone. All mix designs meet Cast Stone Institute standards for architectural cast stone.

Shipping Information

All Nichols Bros. cast stone planters are made to order and ship via LTL common carrier freight. Due to the custom production process, items are non-returnable.

Because of our improved mix design and integral reinforcing, we offer a 10-year limited warranty on our dry cast stone products, assuming proper installation and maintenance. A very important factor in planter performance is drainage. Our planters are made with drain holes and they must be utilized. With every order we ship installation instructions and small rubber squares to act as spacers or pot feet. These are to lift the bottom of the planter 1/4” – 3/8” off the ground to allow proper drainage. If water is allowed to collect in the container it can lead to efflorescence and in extreme cases of ice buildup, can cause the planter to crack. The warranty is limited to manufacturer’s defects and does not cover damage from improper maintenance or installation, mishandling, collision or other misuse.

We do not guarantee our containers from failure due to other actions which might befall the products, such as being struck, dropped or otherwise abused.

Nichols Bros. Stoneworks reserves the right to request the return, for inspection and analysis, to the Snohomish, WA location, any product for which failure is claimed, with the return packing and shipping costs incurred being borne at least initially by the claimant.

Whether or not the product is returned, any claim must be made in writing and include a full description of the location of the container, when it was most recently moved to the location where failure was first noted, its contents immediately prior to its failure upon its environment and possible cause of its failure.

Upon their review of the written claim and/or the product itself, and based upon their experience and results of any outside scientific analysis they choose to employ, if, in the sole judgment of Nichols Bros. Stoneworks the container is determined to have failed, Nichols Bros. will ship to the claimant a new, replacement container of the same size and design, at Nichols Bros. Cost, and at the same time refund the costs incurred by the claimant to have had the failed product packed and shipped to Nichols Bros.

If, on the other hand, in Nichols Bros.’ sole judgment the product failure is determined to have been caused by something other than manufacturer’s defect, Nichols Bros. will not be required to replace the container or to reimburse for the packing and shipping of the container for their inspection. Further, Nichols Bros. may, at its option, charge back any out-of-pocket costs incurred by them in determination of the cause of the failure; those costs do not exceed the initial price paid by the claimant for that container.
