A little 70s nostalgia, in fired stoneware rather than plastic. With its playful silhouette, bold colour and retro inspired feel, the Pillar brings instant character to your greenery. Inspired by an era of colour, creativity and self expression, its clean gloss finish makes it right at home in today's interiors. This is the smallest of the Pillar family: a desk, shelf or windowsill piece that takes a 90mm nursery pot.
Key Features
- Fired stoneware. In a deep plum gloss glaze.
- 11cm external height. 11cm internal diameter.
- Sized for a 90mm nursery pot. So you can drop the grower pot straight in.
- Straight sided pillar form. It groups well with the Medium and Large.
- No saucer. Supplied without one.
Pūrē 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, the external height and the internal diameter, and their trade listings give the country of manufacture as China. They do not publish the external diameter, the glaze composition or the packaging.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 Low-Tox 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 90mm nursery pot, lift it out to water, let it drain, then drop it back in.
- Sit it on a felt pad. Or a coaster, on timber and stone surfaces.
- It is still ceramic. Stoneware is hard wearing, but it will chip if knocked against a hard edge.
Good to Know
- Drainage is not stated. Potted do not say whether this piece is drilled, and it is supplied without a saucer. We would use it as a decorative outer pot rather than planting directly into it.
- Pieces vary. Glaze colour and surface can differ slightly between pieces. That is normal for fired ceramics, not a fault.

Our Take
A small straight-sided column in a deep plum gloss, sized for the 90mm nursery pot most little plants come home in. Stoneware, so it has real weight and will not go chalky in a sunny window.

Frequently asked
What is the Pillar planter made from?
Stoneware, finished in a plum 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?
11cm external height and 11cm internal diameter. It is sized for a 90mm 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 Pillar 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.
Can I use it outdoors?
We would keep it indoors. Glazed stoneware can crack if it freezes with water sitting in it.
How do I care for it?
Wipe with a damp cloth and skip abrasive cleaners and scourers, which will dull the gloss over time. Stoneware chips against hard edges, so lift rather than drag it.
