This is a wonderful near vintage jardiniere featuring a wide flared and fluted rim (pattern "A7").  This item was made by Frankoma Pottery in the classic Frankoma "Brown Satin" glaze with its mesmerizing mixes of tans and browns.
Frankoma initially used a yellow-white clay before they switched to a darker, brick red Sapulpa clay in about the mid 1950s.  Frankoma shifted a final time to a lighter red mix of Sapulpa clay after the mid 1970s.  Please see photos below.

..Very nice, very functional.
... a thoughtful gift for the collector of Frankoma functional art pottery.
... this would also make a fine gift for the alumnus or alumna from the University of Oklahoma (where John Frank established the Ceramics Department), Oklahoma State University, Tulsa University, and the many other fine institutions of higher education in the state of Oklahoma.
