Small Round Cabbage Leaf Glazed Stoneware Planter - Green

This cabbage planter brings a fresh garden green to a windowsill. It is shaped like a tight head of cabbage, with its leaves wrapped around the sides. Each leaf is moulded in relief, with raised veins running from the base up to a softly scalloped rim, so the pot looks as though the outer leaves have just been folded round. It is made from stoneware and finished in a glossy glaze in a light, leafy green that shines along every raised vein. It stands 13.9cm tall and 17cm across, a small, round pot that fits easily on a narrow sill or a crowded shelf without taking over.

We like it in the kitchen, on a windowsill with a pot of herbs such as basil, parsley or thyme, where the cabbage design feels right at home. It suits a farmhouse kitchen, a dresser shelf, a conservatory or a sunny spot in the living room, and it brings a playful touch of the vegetable garden indoors. The 17cm width holds a small houseplant, a trailing ivy or a few spring bulbs. The round shape looks good from every side, so it works on a table where it will be seen all the way round. Grouped with other green pots it makes a lively kitchen garden display.

The glazed stoneware has a smooth surface that is easy to keep clean. Dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it over with a damp cloth when needed. Many people keep a plant in its plastic nursery pot and sit that inside a ceramic planter, which makes watering and swapping plants simple. With a pot of herbs or a small fern tucked inside, it makes a cheerful gift, or a bright finishing touch for your own kitchen sill.
