Soil is the cradle of life, the foundation upon which new life flourishes and develops. Earth`s strength, roughness and raw nature are the sources of inspiration for pot collection SOIL. Symbolizing fertility and the richness of the soil.

The pots are handmade to reflect the touch and care of the craftsman. Their uneven, rugged edges symbolize the earth`s strength and plant`s character. The overall shape of the collection has been created with fine grooves, symbolizing the hand-made clay turning technique.

The biggest size XL pot of the SOIL plant pot collection is ideal for medium and big potted plants, fitting on a wide low windowsill, a chest of drawers, or on top of other pieces of furniture. As clay pots they provide many benefits to plant life cycle. The porous nature of clay ensures proper aeration and moisture regulation for plants, providing a healthy root system development. Material helps also to maintain correct soil temperature, even on the hottest summer days.

The plant pot is suitable for planting various indoor plants and herbs matching the size of their root system. Before planting, it is recommended to soak the plant pot in a water bath for at least 2 hours so that the clay absorbs the necessary amount of moisture, without soaking it up from the newly planted plant after the first watering. 

The bottom of the pot has a drainage hole for excess moisture to drain onto the tray, so it is intended for planting a plant without an additional plastic inner pot. 

The unglazed surface inside the pot can change colour and show white salt efflorescence over time in the process of interaction of soil, plants, and clay. 

Due to clay having been hardened at a high kiln temperature, the plant pot can be placed both indoors and on an outdoor terrace or balcony, when the air temperature does not fall below +1°C.

Closeup of the Latvian red clay

Raw materials

We use locally sourced Latvian red clay. Its distinctive red color is caused by iron oxide in the clay. The clay is known for its exceptional quality and has been prized by potters and ceramics artists for centuries. It is also highly durable and resistant to heat. Although a popular choice for brick-making, with our innovation the red clay has transformed into a unique and durable tableware.

 

Craftsmanship and technique

Our technique has been passed down to us by our ancestors along with the appreciation of the art of pottery. Each piece is crafted by hand, resulting in unique and durable tableware, that’s unmatched by mass-produced alternatives.
