James II Water Tank Planter
Bring a piece of English history into your garden with the James II Water Tank Planter by Capital Garden Products. Inspired by an original rainwater tank dating back to 1692 that remains in daily use in the City of London, this impressive planter combines historic character with the practical advantages of modern fiberglass construction.
Faithfully reproduced to capture the weathered appearance and timeless appeal of the original, the James II Water Tank Planter offers the authentic look of aged lead without the excessive weight. Unlike the historic original, this lightweight fiberglass version can be moved by a single person when empty, making installation and repositioning remarkably easy.
Authentic Historic Design
The James II Water Tank Planter is modeled directly after a surviving 17th-century rainwater cistern from the reign of King James II. Every detail has been carefully recreated to deliver the appearance of a centuries-old architectural garden feature, making it an ideal focal point for traditional, formal, and English-inspired landscapes.
A Statement Planter for Entrances & Gardens
With its substantial proportions and classic styling, the James II planter is perfect for showcasing large shrubs, topiary, ornamental grasses, and seasonal plantings. A matching pair positioned on either side of a front door, driveway entrance, or garden gate creates a dramatic and elegant statement.
Whether used in residential gardens, estate properties, luxury landscapes, or commercial settings, this planter delivers timeless sophistication and visual impact.

Each James II Water Tank Planter is available in two distinctive finishes:
Integral Faux Lead Finish
A durable faux lead appearance incorporated throughout the material, providing a classic aged look with long-lasting performance.
