Deep flutes run from the rim to a scalloped foot, and the glaze is wiped back off every ridge so a thin line of raw sandy clay shows the whole way down. Against the dark teal that trim reads almost gold, and it is the reason this pot looks handmade at arm reach rather than only in a photograph.

HomArt sizes it for a 5 inch drop in plant pot, which is the size most houseplants come home in. Slide the grower pot straight down inside, no repotting, no soil on the table, and lift it back out on watering day. At 5.25 inches across and 5 inches tall it belongs on a desk, a nightstand or a kitchen sill.
