Isidora Wavy Stoneware Plant Pot - White

This plant pot is made from 100% stoneware and finished in a white glaze. Its body is shaped into deep waves that sweep diagonally from the rim to the base. The rim follows the same rhythm, rising and dipping in soft scallops rather than running straight, so the whole pot looks as though it is turning slowly. Its sides swell gently before drawing in towards the foot. It measures 20cm across and 19.5cm tall, a medium size that gives a good-sized houseplant room, rather than a pot meant for a small cutting or a succulent.

Being almost as tall as it is wide, it sits on a windowsill, a sideboard, a side table or the end of a hallway console, at a height that makes the plant the point of interest. The waves catch the light as it moves through the day, so it works well near a window in a living room or bedroom, where the relief shows at its best. It suits a trailing plant whose stems can spill over the scalloped edge, or an upright leafy plant whose shape echoes its curves. For a calm, natural look, the white glaze sits easily beside pale wood, linen and other ceramics, and it makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who keeps houseplants.

Stoneware is fired at a high temperature, which makes it dense and hard-wearing. The glaze is worth a note: the maker states that, due to the nature of the glaze, colour variations may occur, so the shading across the waves may differ a little from one pot to the next. At 1.6KG it has a solid, reassuring weight, worth bearing in mind on a narrow shelf. For styling, give it a plain surface and a little space, so the curving lines read clearly, and keep nearby pieces simple; one plant in this pot is often enough to finish a quiet spot in a room.

What is the plant pot made of?

It is made from 100% stoneware with a white glaze. Stoneware is a dense, hard-wearing ceramic, and the wavy pattern is formed in the sides of the pot itself.

How big is it?

It measures 20cm across and 19.5cm tall and weighs 1.6KG. That is a medium size, suited to a good-sized houseplant on a sill, sideboard or side table.

Will every pot look exactly the same?

Not quite. The maker states that, due to the nature of the glaze, colour variations may occur, so the shading on each pot may differ slightly.

What kind of plant suits it?

Its scalloped rim suits a trailing plant whose stems can spill over the edge. Its curving sides also pair well with an upright leafy houseplant.

Is the wavy pattern a texture you can feel?

Yes. The waves are raised in the stoneware itself and run diagonally from the rim to the base, so you can feel the ridges under your fingers.

Does it come with a plant?

No. You receive the stoneware plant pot on its own, ready for a houseplant of your choosing. The styling props shown are not included.
