Description
This white stoneware plant pot carries a face sculpted in relief across its side: closed eyes, a long straight nose and full lips, with a calm, almost sleepy expression. The features wrap round the curve of the pot, so it shows a slightly different face from each angle as you turn it. It measures 18cm long, 16.5cm wide and 15.5cm tall, a size that suits a single small houseplant rather than a large floor plant, and at 0.976KG it has a solid, settled feel on a shelf.
Fill it with a succulent, a small fern or something trailing, and the leaves rise above the face like a head of hair. It sits well on open shelving, a hallway console, a bookcase among books and ceramics or the corner of a desk, ideally near eye level, where the sculpted features show best. In a living room, bedroom or study with a pale, quiet palette it adds character without adding another colour, and it makes a thoughtful gift for someone who already owns more plants than pots.
The pot is made entirely of stoneware, a dense, hard-wearing ceramic fired at high temperature, and finished in a glossy white glaze. Where the glaze thins, at the eyes and along the rim, a fine darker line appears, which sharpens the features and outlines the top edge. The sides are softly uneven rather than machine-perfect, so the light moves across the surface in gentle ripples. For styling, pair it with one or two plainer pots in a similar tone, and let the face be the one sculpted detail in the group.
