Description
The Mawni is a round terracotta plant pot with a softly rounded body, a gently dimpled surface and a mottled, weathered finish in a Natural colour, so it looks settled and well loved from the day it arrives. It is 14cm across and 14cm tall, an even, compact shape, and it rests on small feet that lift the body just clear of the shelf or sill. It is made from 100% terracotta and weighs 0.7KG, enough to feel solid in the hand.
At this size it suits a small houseplant: a fern, a trailing pothos, a peace lily or a cluster of succulents. We like it on a windowsill, a bookshelf or a kitchen shelf, and a pair on a console or a mantelpiece looks considered without fuss. The Natural tone and textured surface sit comfortably with green leaves, pale wood, rattan and linen, so it fits a relaxed living room, a bedroom or a hallway equally well. It also makes an easy gift for someone who has just moved house or who keeps adding to their plant shelf.
Terracotta is a porous fired clay, and the maker notes that this pot is permeable, so water works its way through the walls. Stand it on a waterproof saucer to protect the shelf or sill. Keeping your plant in its plastic nursery pot inside it also means you can carry the plant to the sink for watering. When styling, group it with a taller pot and a slim vase in similar earthy tones, and let the leaves bring the colour.
