Description
Mayia is a stoneware plant pot with a rounded, bellied body that draws in slightly towards a raised collar at the rim. Its grey glaze is thick and speckled, pitted all over with tiny bubbles and craters, so the surface feels every bit as rough and lively as it looks. It is 16cm across and 12cm tall and weighs 0.7KG, a size for one small houseplant rather than a large floor specimen. Stoneware is clay fired at a high temperature, which makes it dense and hard, and the body here is 100% stoneware.
At 16cm across, it suits a compact plant such as a small fern, a young succulent, a trailing ivy or a bushy little shrub. Set it on a side table beside an armchair, on a bedroom windowsill, along a bookshelf or at the corner of a desk, anywhere the texture can be seen up close. The grey sits easily with dark wood, woven throws and pale walls, and it makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who keeps houseplants, whether a first plant or one more for a crowded sill.
The character comes from the glaze. The maker notes that, due to the nature of the glaze, colour variations may occur, so the speckle and depth of grey on yours will be its own. The glaze carries over the rim and into the opening, giving a neat, finished edge where the plant sits. The styling props shown are not included, and the pot arrives empty. For a relaxed grouping, pair it with a taller plant in a smooth pot so the rough surface catches the eye, or line several along a wide windowsill for a soft run of texture.
