Description
Our Posey plant pot is made from 100% stoneware and shaped as a full, rounded bowl that swells at the middle and draws in slightly at the rim and the foot. Its whole outer surface is sculpted into raised, pointed segments that overlap in staggered rows, rather like the leaves of an artichoke, and a glossy blue glaze flows over them, pooling darker in the grooves and thinning to lighter tones on the high points. At 15cm across and 14cm tall it is a small pot, the right size for a single compact houseplant.
It belongs where a single plant needs a little presence: a sideboard beside a lamp, a bookshelf, the corner of a desk or a windowsill. Its compact size also fits a shelf inside a glass-fronted cabinet, among bowls, boxes and books. A succulent, a small cactus or a compact trailing plant suits its proportions, and the sculpted, glossy sides set off the plain green of the foliage. It suits a bathroom shelf as well, for a plant that enjoys a humid room, and it makes a considered gift for anyone who likes houseplants but has little space for them.
The pot is stoneware throughout, a dense clay fired at high temperature, and at 0.838KG it has a reassuring heft for its size. The glaze covers the outside and carries over the rim into the interior, so the finish looks complete from every angle on an open shelf. The maker gives no care or drainage details, so we suggest keeping the plant in its plastic nursery pot and standing that inside the stoneware, which lets you lift it out to water and drain it in the sink. Turn the pot so its deepest grooves catch the light from a window, and the glaze will show its full range of blue.
