Know before you buy
No, these pots do not have drainage holes. If you are planting live herbs, we recommend using a small plastic liner or adding a layer of gravel at the bottom to manage moisture.
Yes, the hand-glazed steel construction is food-safe. They make charming vessels for individual servings of mousse, berries, or other small desserts.
To preserve the finish, simply wipe the pots clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh abrasives or soaking them in water, as this can damage the hand-glazed surface.
While they are durable, they are designed primarily for indoor use. Prolonged exposure to harsh weather or direct sunlight may affect the hand-painted finish over time.
Each pot measures 3.5 inches in diameter and 3.25 inches in height, with a capacity of 8 ounces. They are petite in scale, making them ideal for windowsills or small tabletops.
