Description
This black plant pot is made of 100% terracotta and measures 14cm across and 11cm tall, a compact size with a lot of surface interest. Its outer wall carries an embossed pattern of short parallel lines gathered into small blocks that alternate direction, much like a basket weave. The glossy black finish sits deepest in the hollows and wears thinner over the raised marks, so the texture reads clearly even from across a room. The body is round, swelling gently at the shoulder before it narrows slightly at the rim and tapers towards the base.
At this size it suits a small houseplant: a succulent, a little cactus, a young fern or a cutting that has just put down roots. It sits comfortably on a windowsill, a bookshelf, a bedside table or the corner of a desk, where the black finish makes green leaves look brighter. It also works as part of a group, lined up with other planters on a console table or sideboard, where one glossy black pot gives a mixed arrangement a point of weight. We think it is an easy choice for anyone who likes texture in a room, and a thoughtful small gift for a new home or a first flat.
Terracotta is a fired clay, and this pot is finished in a glossy surface over its embossed pattern, while the top of the rim keeps a rougher, matt texture that shows the bare clay. It weighs 0.884KG, so it feels solid in the hand for its size. For the neatest result, keep your plant in its plastic nursery pot and set that inside the terracotta one; you can lift it out to water at the sink, let it drain and return it to its place, and a thin layer of moss or small pebbles over the soil hides the edge of the inner pot.
