Description
This is a stoneware plant pot with real character. A reclining tiger is embossed on one side, raised from the surface so you can trace its stripes with a fingertip, and a glossy multicoloured glaze runs down from the rim and gathers around the motif. On each side sit two ring-shaped loops, one above the other, which give the round body a playful outline. It measures 18cm across and 15cm tall and weighs 1.3KG, so it has a reassuring heft on a shelf or windowsill.
At that size it suits a small to medium houseplant, such as a ZZ plant, a peace lily or a trailing pothos. Use it as a cover pot: set the plant inside it, still in its plastic nursery pot, and lift it out when it needs watering. The tiger appears on one side only, while the other side shows the glaze alone, so you can turn the pot to suit the spot: motif forward on a sideboard or mantelpiece, plainer side forward beside busy wallpaper. It sits happily in a living room, on a hallway console or on a study shelf, and makes a characterful gift for anyone who loves plants.
Stoneware is a dense ceramic fired at high temperature, which is why a pot of this size feels solid in the hand and stands steady once planted. The glaze is glossy, and where it runs and thickens it settles into deeper and lighter tones, so the surface shifts as light moves across it. The tiger's stripes and outline are raised in relief, which gives the motif a texture you can feel. For styling, set the pot at about eye level where side light from a window catches the embossing, and give it plain neighbours, such as a clear glass vase or a wooden tray, so the tiger and the four loops hold the eye.
