Mum Floral Stoneware Planter with Plant Pot Saucer - Off White

This stoneware planter for Mum pairs a scalloped rim with a cheerful wildflower print and its own matching saucer. The off-white body is covered in little flowers, bees, bows and butterflies in pink, orange, yellow, lilac and soft green. The front carries a framed panel reading "MUM you are just so very wonderful" with a tiny pink bow beneath. The saucer has a border of its own, with a hedgehog, a strawberry, a bee, a bird and a heart among the flowers, so the two pieces look made for each other. It is a round pot standing 10.6cm tall, 9.5cm across and 9.4cm deep.

We think it makes a thoughtful Mother's Day gift, and one Mum will keep using long after the day itself. Its compact size settles the question of what to grow: a small houseplant, a little succulent or a pot of herbs will sit happily in it, ready for a sunny windowsill, a bedside table or a bookshelf. It works just as well away from plants, holding pens on a desk or a little bunch of dried flowers on a dressing table. Because the words are printed right on the front, it says what you mean every time she looks at it, with or without a card.

The planter and its saucer are both stoneware, with the floral design and message applied as a decal over the off-white body. The scalloped edge gives the rim a soft, petal-like outline that suits the print. To keep the colours fresh, wipe the outside with a soft damp cloth, dry it straight away and avoid scouring pads or harsh cleaners. For a present that is ready to give, pot up a small plant before you wrap it, so Mum opens something growing as well as something lovely to read.

How big is this plant pot?

Does the planter come with a saucer?

Yes, it comes with a matching stoneware saucer for the pot to sit in. The saucer has its own printed border of little flowers, a hedgehog, a strawberry, a bee, a bird and a heart.

What does the message on the planter say?

The front reads "MUM you are just so very wonderful" inside a framed panel with a small pink bow, surrounded by the wildflower print.

What is the planter made of?

Both the pot and the saucer are stoneware in off white. The multicoloured floral design and the message are applied as a decal.

How should I clean it?

Wipe the outside with a soft damp cloth and dry it straight away. We would avoid scouring pads and harsh cleaners so the printed design stays bright.

Is it a good Mother's Day gift?

We think so. The printed message speaks directly to Mum, and potting a small plant in it before wrapping makes it a ready-made present she can keep using.
