Eanna Stoneware Plant Pot - Multi

This small stoneware plant pot wears a ring of hand-painted birds perched shoulder to shoulder around its rim, several of them leaning out past the edge as if ready for flight. The body beneath is round and softly bellied, narrowing gently towards the base, and the birds give it a playful, multicoloured crown that makes even a plain cutting look cherished. It measures 12.5cm across and 8cm tall, which makes it a pot for small plants: a young succulent, a rooted cutting or a compact trailing plant for a shelf, not a floor-standing specimen.

At 0.3KG it is light enough to move about freely, and it sits happily on a bookshelf, a windowsill, a bedside table or the top of a sideboard, wherever the birds can be seen at eye level. A trailing plant with heart-shaped leaves suits it especially well, the foliage spilling out between the birds so that they seem to nest among the greenery. It makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves birds or houseplants, and it works just as well left empty as a small decorative dish for rings and hair clips on a dressing table, or simply as an ornament on a hallway console.

It is made entirely of stoneware, a dense clay fired at high temperature, and the decoration is painted by hand. That handwork means the colour runs and pools a little differently across the birds on every pot, so small variations are part of its character rather than flaws. The glossy finish catches the light on a sunny sill, while the plainer body keeps the eye on the birds. For an easy arrangement, set it on a short stack of books or beside a few pieces in quiet, natural finishes and let the birds bring the colour.
