Sayah Stoneware Plant Pot - Grey

Sayah is a grey stoneware plant pot whose outside is covered in small pressed dimples, each a shade deeper than the grey around it, so the surface catches the light like weathered stone. The sides are softly uneven rather than perfectly smooth, the rim rises and dips gently, and the body steps in to a narrower foot, which gives the pot a lifted look on a shelf. It measures 16cm across and 15.5cm tall and weighs 1KG, a compact size for a single houseplant.

That size suits a small plant on a windowsill, a bookcase or a desk: a succulent, a cactus, a trailing pothos or a young fern sits happily at this scale. We like it grouped with other textured pots along a console or a kitchen shelf, where the dimpled surface gives a run of greenery some rhythm, and it works as well alone on a bedside table. Because it is nearly as tall as it is wide, it reads as a grounded shape rather than a shallow bowl, so it balances a plant with some height or a spreading habit. It also makes a thoughtful present for anyone growing their first houseplants, since it needs only a plant to look finished.

The pot is made entirely of stoneware, a clay fired at high temperature until it is dense and hard, which is why it has a reassuring weight in the hand. A heavier pot is steadier than a light one, so it stays put on a shelf when you water or turn the plant. The texture covers the whole outside and stops at a plain band around the foot, which keeps the lower edge neat. Use it as a cover pot: leave your plant in its plastic growing pot and lower it into the stoneware, which makes repotting and watering simple. Pair it with green foliage and pale wood for a soft, natural look.

What material is the plant pot?

It is made of 100% stoneware, a dense, hard fired clay, and it weighs 1KG, so it feels solid and sits steadily on a shelf or sill.

How big is it?

It measures 16cm across and 15.5cm tall, a size that suits a single small houseplant such as a succulent, a cactus or a young fern.

Can I use it as a cover pot?

Yes. Leave your plant in its plastic growing pot and lower it into the stoneware, as long as the growing pot fits comfortably within it; this makes watering and repotting easy.

What colour is it?

It is grey, with a surface of small pressed dimples that read a shade deeper than the rest of the pot, giving it the look of weathered stone.

Where does it look best?

We like it on a windowsill, bookcase, desk or bedside table, either on its own or grouped with other textured pots along a shelf.

Does it come with a plant?

No. You receive the stoneware pot on its own; the plant and the styling props shown are not included.
