Plant Pots

Handcrafted Plant Pots and Vases

Designed as decorative feature pieces, these metal pots and vases combine gently curved forms with carefully finished surfaces. They can be displayed individually or grouped in different sizes to create a coordinated arrangement.

The collection includes plant pots for displaying indoor or outdoor plants alongside decorative vases that can be used as standalone accessories. Product functions vary, so confirm whether your selected design is intended for direct planting, use with an inner pot or decorative display only.

Indoor Plant Pots

Plant pots without drainage holes are generally better suited to indoor display. They can be used as decorative outer pots with a separate nursery pot placed inside, making it easier to remove the plant for watering and allow excess water to drain.

A sealed base should not automatically be assumed to be completely watertight. Unless the product listing specifically confirms this, use an internal liner or protective saucer and take care when positioning the pot on timber, stone or other moisture-sensitive surfaces.

Outdoor Plant Pots with Drainage

For outdoor planting, choose a product specifically described as suitable for exterior use. Pots with drilled drainage holes allow excess water to escape, helping to prevent compost from becoming waterlogged.

Keep drainage openings clear and consider raising the pot slightly from the ground where necessary so water can escape freely. Outdoor suitability depends on the material and finish, and not every decorative pot or vase in the collection should be placed outside.

Polished and Satin Finishes

Selected pots are available in two distinctive surface finishes:

• Polished finishes have a smooth, highly reflective appearance that creates a bright contemporary feature.
• Satin finishes have a lower-sheen, softly textured appearance for a more understated look.

Polished surfaces may show fingerprints, water marks and handling more readily than satin finishes. The colour and appearance of both finishes can also vary according to the surrounding light and furnishings.

Choosing the Right Size

Before ordering, check the technical drawing and consider:

• The overall height and width of the pot or vase
• The diameter and shape of the top opening
• The internal space required for a nursery pot or liner
• The product weight before and after planting
• The space needed around the item for cleaning and maintenance
• Whether the selected position is level and able to support the finished weight

For direct planting, allow enough room for the plant’s root system and consider how large it is likely to become. When using the product as an outer planter, compare its internal opening with the dimensions of the nursery pot rather than relying only on the external measurements.

Using Decorative Metal Vases

Metal vases can be displayed as feature pieces or used for suitable dried and artificial arrangements. Before filling a vase with water or displaying fresh flowers, check that the individual product is specifically described as watertight and suitable for that purpose.

Using a removable internal container can help protect the vase and surrounding surface when displaying fresh arrangements.

Caring for Metal Plant Pots and Vases

Remove dust and light marks with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads, harsh chemicals and unsuitable metal polishes, as these may scratch the surface or alter the finish. Follow the care instructions provided for the specific material and finish.

For outdoor pots, remove surface dirt periodically and keep the drainage holes clear. Products placed near the coast or in highly exposed locations may require more frequent cleaning, even when manufactured from corrosion-resistant materials.
