Potted
Potted - Medium Trippy Burnt Umber - Planter
Free spirited 70s shape, in fired stoneware rather than plastic.
The Trippy channels the energy of the seventies with a fresh, contemporary twist: a playful silhouette and a retro inspired ribbed profile that brings instant character to your greenery. The clean gloss finish keeps it perfectly at home in today's interiors, whether you are styling a sunlit living room or a reading nook.
Key Features
- Fired stoneware in a warm burnt umber gloss glaze
- 12.5cm external height, 12.5cm internal diameter
- Sized for a 130mm nursery pot, so you can drop the grower pot straight in
- Ribbed retro profile that reads as a statement piece even when empty
- Supplied without a saucer
Pure Standard
- Stoneware, not plastic. Potted list the material plainly: stoneware, a dense high fired ceramic. It is inert, it does not off gas, and it will never shed microplastics into your soil or your home. That is the reason we brought the range in.
- Built to outlive the trend. A stoneware pot is a decade long object, not a season long one. The most sustainable planter is the one you never have to replace, and this is the format that gets you there.
- Nothing added. No fragrance, no coatings, no plastic liner. There is very little in a glazed stoneware pot to react with, which makes it an easy piece to put in a bedroom or a nursery.
- Worth knowing before you buy. Potted publish the material, the finish and the dimensions, but not the country of manufacture, the glaze composition or the packaging. That is common right across the imported ceramics category rather than particular to this brand, and the Manufacturing Transparency and Packaging scores below reflect it honestly.
- Where we would like more. A published lead and cadmium free statement on the glaze would take the Materials score to a five.

Care Instructions
- Wipe with a damp cloth. Skip abrasive cleaners and scourers, which will dull the gloss over time.
- Use it as a cachepot: leave your plant in its 130mm nursery pot, lift it out to water, let it drain, then drop it back in.
- A soft brush gets dust out of the ribbing more easily than a cloth.
- Stoneware is hard wearing but it is still ceramic. It will chip if it is knocked against a hard edge.
Good to Know
- Potted do not state whether this piece is drilled with a drainage hole, and it is supplied without a saucer. We would use it as a decorative outer pot rather than planting directly into it.
- Glaze colour and surface can vary slightly between pieces. That is normal for fired ceramics, not a fault.

Our Take
Ribbed, glossy and unapologetically seventies, in a burnt umber that reads earthy rather than orange. Stoneware at 12.5cm, sized for a 130mm nursery pot, with a fluted profile that holds its own even when the plant inside is having a difficult month. A statement pot that does not need the plant to do the work.

Frequently asked
What is the Trippy planter made from?
Stoneware, finished in a burnt umber gloss glaze. Potted publish the material for every pot in the range. Fired clay is inert, so it does not off-gas or shed microplastics into your potting mix.
What size is it?
12.5cm external height and 12.5cm internal diameter. It is sized for a 130mm nursery pot.
Does it have a drainage hole or a saucer?
It is supplied without a saucer, and Potted do not publish drainage detail for the Trippy range. We would use it as a decorative outer pot: leave the plant in its nursery pot, lift it out to water, let it drain, then drop it back in.
Is it plastic free?
Yes. The pot is fired stoneware with a glazed finish and no plastic components, which is why it carries our Plastic Free tag.
How do I clean the ribbing?
A soft dry brush gets dust out of the flutes far more easily than a cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, which will dull the gloss sitting on the ridges first.
Can I use it outdoors?
We would keep it indoors. Glazed stoneware can crack if it freezes with water sitting in it.
