A footed stoneware planter with the saucer built into the base.
The Comet is crafted to showcase your indoor greenery and to keep it thriving. Its sleek raised silhouette is paired with a matching saucer at the base, designed to catch excess water and protect your surfaces. That one thoughtful detail elevates the plant both literally and stylistically, and it is what makes the Comet a standout in a room rather than just another pot.
Key Features
- Fired stoneware in a jade reactive matt glaze
- Matching saucer at the base, so runoff is caught without a separate dish
- 20cm external height, 14cm internal diameter
- Raised, elevated form that lifts a plant clear of the surface
- Reactive glaze, so the depth of colour shifts across each piece
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.
- The reactive glaze is genuinely worth paying for. A reactive matt glaze moves and pools in the kiln, so no two pieces come out the same. It is the difference between a mass produced pot and one that looks made.
- 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.
- 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
- Tip out any water that collects in the base saucer after watering.
- Wipe with a damp cloth. Skip abrasive cleaners and scourers, which will scratch a matt glaze quickly.
- Sit it on felt pads on timber and stone surfaces.
- Stoneware is hard wearing but it is still ceramic. It will chip if it is knocked against a hard edge.
Good to Know
- Reactive glazes are variable by design. Colour depth, pooling and tonal shifts differ between pieces, so yours will not be identical to the photograph.
- Potted do not state whether the planter is drilled with a drainage hole. The integrated saucer suggests it is intended to drain, but we would confirm before planting directly into it.

Our Take
A footed planter that lifts the plant clear of the surface, with the saucer built into the base rather than sold separately or forgotten entirely. The reactive matt glaze pools and shifts in the kiln, so the jade is never quite the same twice. Twenty centimetres of quiet showing off, and we mean that as a compliment.

Frequently asked
What is the Comet planter made from?
Stoneware, finished in a jade reactive matt glaze. Fired clay is inert, so it does not off-gas or shed microplastics into your potting mix.
Does it come with a saucer?
Yes, and it is built into the base rather than being a separate dish. It catches excess water and keeps it off your surfaces.
What size is it?
20cm external height and 14cm internal diameter. The raised, footed form makes it read taller than the diameter suggests.
Why does the colour vary?
Reactive glazes move and pool during firing, so depth of colour and tonal shifts differ between pieces. Yours will not be identical to the photograph, which is the point of a reactive glaze.
Does it have a drainage hole?
Potted do not publish drainage detail for the Comet range. The integrated saucer suggests it is intended to drain, but check with us before planting directly into it rather than using a nursery pot inside.
How do I care for it?
Tip out any water that collects in the base saucer after watering. Wipe with a damp cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners and scourers, which scratch a matt glaze quickly.
