Know before you buy
The Form 53 consists of an inner pot that holds your plant and an exterior vessel that acts as a reservoir. The inner pot features a drainage hole, allowing excess water to pass through into the outer vessel, which prevents root rot while keeping your surfaces dry.
Yes, the exterior vessel is designed to function independently as a standalone vase. Its water-drop profile makes it an elegant piece for displaying cut flowers when not in use as a planter.
It is ideal for most standard indoor houseplants that require consistent drainage. Because the inner pot is 4.38 inches in diameter, it is best suited for small to medium-sized plants like succulents, ferns, or small tropicals.
The glazed ceramic finish is durable and easy to maintain. Simply wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust; for the interior, you can rinse the pots with mild soap and water if mineral buildup occurs from watering.
No, the dual-chamber design eliminates the need for a separate saucer. The exterior vessel serves as the catch-basin for the inner pot, maintaining a clean, minimalist look on your tabletop.
Each piece is handcrafted by Tung Chiang and his team in the Heath Clay Studio located in San Francisco, California.
