Mari Masot Two Part Pots
Mari Masot Two Part Pots
More sculpture than a plant pot, Two Part vessels by Mari Masot from Barcelona. The top and base are interchangeable with other pieces in the collection. Can be used as a plant pot and a decorative object on its own. Mari makes her pieces in small batches and entirely by hand, striking a balance between the traditional nature of the medium, and the industrial and architectural influences of her designs.
The top part vessels have a small drainage hole for plant/cacti.
Sizes vary, please refer to photos with the hand, for a rough guide.
Catalan stoneware + matt pigment.
Mari Masot.
Each vessel has a makers mark MM.
Made in Barcelona.
Care Instructions - Mari Masot two-part plant pots are thrown from a sandy-textured, high grog stoneware that remains slightly porous after firing. This makes them perfect for plants, as the roots can breathe easier. They’re particularly good for cactus and succulents, who like to dry out completely between waterings. If you use your two-part plant pot for more moisture-loving plants, the surface of your pot could develop a patina - which has its own very organic beauty, but is something to keep in mind. If you don't like the idea of the patina, I recommend using a small plastic-like compostable bag to line the pot - with a hole at the bottom for drainage, of course.
When it's time to water the plant, carry the top part to a sink or other area where it can drain free, and let the water run out before replacing it on the base. The base of the two-part plant pot is designed to catch a few drips, but not to hold a lot of water - it could leach out. For this reason, I don't recommend using your two-part plant pot as a vase.
Cleaning the pot is most easily done under running water, with a soft- or medium-bristle brush.
