Description
This is a set of three round plant pots made from iron, finished in a worn, mottled gold that looks gently aged rather than freshly polished. The sizes are graduated. The smallest is 14cm across and 6.5cm tall, a low, wide shape for a shallow-rooted succulent or a handful of pine cones. The other two share a height of 9cm, one 15cm across and one 17cm across, so they sit level beside each other while still stepping out in width. Raised bands run around the sides of each pot beneath a slightly flared rim.
They are sized for windowsills, mantelpieces, bookshelves and the middle of a dining table, where three small pots in a row look considered rather than cluttered. Small succulents and trailing plants suit them well, and the set was made with Christmas in mind: fill them with pine cones, sprigs of fir, moss or a few baubles for the festive weeks, then keep them out afterwards as everyday plant pots. Because they arrive as a matching trio, they also make an easy gift for someone who likes plants and a warm, lived-in look at home.
The pots are 100% iron and the set weighs 0.982KG, so they are light enough to move around as the seasons change. The gold finish varies across each surface, with brighter and duller patches, so no two pots look exactly alike. Iron can rust where water sits against it, so we would keep each plant in its plastic nursery pot and set that inside, tipping away any water that collects after watering. To style them, line them up with the shortest pot at one end, or split them up: the smallest on a stack of books, the two taller pots either side of a window.

Frequently Asked
What are these plant pots made of?
They are made from 100% iron, with a worn, mottled gold finish over the surface and raised bands running around the sides.
What sizes are the three pots?
The smallest is 14cm across and 6.5cm tall. The other two are both 9cm tall, one 15cm across and one 17cm across.
How many pots do I receive?
You receive three pots in graduated sizes, sold together as a set of three, all in the same gold finish.
Can I plant straight into the pots?
Iron can rust where water sits against it, so we would keep each plant in its nursery pot inside and empty any standing water after watering.
Are they only for Christmas?
They suit Christmas decorating with pine cones, fir or baubles, but they work just as well as small plant pots for succulents all year round.
How heavy is the set?
The set weighs 0.982KG, so the pots are easy to lift and move between a windowsill, a shelf and a table.
