Dieter Stoneware Plant Pot - White

Dieter is a white stoneware plant pot with sides built up from rows of rounded, pebble-like bulges, three tiers of them from foot to rim, so the whole surface looks like a cluster of bubbles pressed together. The rim follows the bulges rather than running straight, which gives the top a soft, wavy edge. It measures 16cm across and 12cm tall, a low, wide size that suits a small plant, and it weighs 0.89KG empty, so it has a reassuring heft in the hand.

Being wider than it is tall, it sits comfortably on a windowsill, a bookshelf or the corner of a desk, and light falling from the side picks out every curve of the pattern. Pair it with a compact plant such as a small fern, a trailing pothos or a cluster of succulents, and it brings texture to a living room, bedroom, hallway or home office. Because it is white, it settles easily against painted walls, pale wood and darker shelving alike. Without a plant, it makes a handsome pot for pens, make-up brushes or a small bundle of dried flowers on a dressing table. It also suits anyone choosing a gift for a friend who keeps houseplants and likes a piece with some character.

The pot is 100% stoneware, a clay fired at high temperatures until it is dense and hard-wearing. Its surface has a glossy finish that gathers a little more thickly in the hollows between the bulges, and a scattering of tiny speckles shows through here and there, so no two areas of the pattern look quite alike. For easy planting, sit your plant, still in its plastic nursery pot, inside the stoneware, which lets you lift it out for watering and change plants whenever you like. A deep green plant with plenty of leaf sets off the white best.
