    When I pick this up it feels fragile & light - ish - I thought it might be resin, but if you look at the chip on bottom it must be concrete or plaster, right?
    Any idea of age or other info; googling concrete plaster cherub angel window sill flower pot just turns up newer ones or plastic/resin ones
    Is this anything special?
    PS - It looks like there is a circle in exact center of the bottom of it; maybe a company label?
    Thanks for any info

    Likely some type of composite stone or concrete mix with polymer, resin or fibreglass. Won’t be just plaster because that would just disintegrate very quickly.

    The circle in the center is usually a place to knock out a drainage hole.

    Agree. :)

    Coincidentally, just this week I've been searching online for a large planter like this (wish I'd found yours!) and it seems most are available "with or without a drainage hole" and made of "fiberstone".
    "Fiberstone consists of fiberglass and a natural stone mixture that produces a durable material which allows for either interior or exterior use. Not only do the planters have the appearance of natural stone, they are lighter than the original stone which makes them great for carrying before setting up your arrangement. "
