What customers say
This garden pot is widely celebrated for its distinctive design and significant visual impact. The iconic Courtly Check pattern elevates the planter beyond mere function, positioning it as genuine home decor that justifies the premium cost for many.

The product's primary appeal rests entirely on its artistry and aesthetic quality. Consumers do advise careful handling to maintain the beautiful enamel finish.
Know before you buy
While the pot is designed for both indoor and outdoor use, it is best to bring it inside during extreme weather or freezing temperatures to protect the hand-painted enamel finish from potential cracking or damage.
No, this pot does not come with a pre-drilled drainage hole. If you plan to use it for live plants, we recommend using a plastic liner or adding a layer of gravel at the bottom to manage water levels.
To maintain the high-gloss finish, hand-wash the pot using mild soap and warm water. Always dry it immediately with a soft cloth to prevent water spots or rust from forming on the steel base.
Yes, the durable steel construction makes it an excellent ice bucket for parties. Just be sure to wipe the interior and exterior dry after use to preserve the integrity of the enamel.
Because each piece is hand-painted, you should expect slight variations in the check pattern. These unique differences are a hallmark of the MacKenzie-Childs process and ensure that your specific pot is one-of-a-kind.
The rim is high-quality stainless steel, but like any metal accent, it can develop a patina over time if exposed to harsh outdoor elements. Regular wiping with a soft, dry cloth will help keep the finish looking its best.
