Description
This stoneware planter is a heartfelt way to thank a favourite teacher, with a scalloped rim, a matching saucer and a cheerful meadow print running all the way round. Its white ground is scattered with red, pink, yellow and lilac flowers, green leaves, little bows and buzzing bees, and on the front a wavy pink and lilac frame holds the words "TEACHER thank you for helping me grow". The saucer carries its own border of tiny motifs, from bees and hearts to a strawberry, a snail and a butterfly. It stands 11cm tall and measures 9.5cm across, a neat round size for one small plant.
We think it suits a classroom desk, a staffroom windowsill or a bright shelf at home, anywhere a teacher would enjoy a little green company through the day. Plant it with a small succulent, a cactus, a little herb or a trailing ivy and the message about growing takes on a lovely double meaning. It makes a thoughtful thank you gift for a teacher who has helped a child find their feet, and because it is a useful piece rather than another ornament, it is likely to stay on the desk long after the card has been tidied away.
The planter and its saucer are made of stoneware, a type of ceramic, and the saucer lifts away from the pot so watering and tidying are simple. Many people like to slip a small plant in its plastic nursery pot straight inside, which keeps things easy and lets the plant be swapped through the seasons. For care, wipe both pieces with a soft damp cloth and dry them, and tip away any water left standing in the saucer. To give it, add a small plant and a card signed by the class, and it is ready to hand over.
