The Axel Pot is offered in two sizes, 30cm and 40cm, handcrafted from polystone in an egg-shaped profile. Both include a drainage hole. They are rated for indoor and outdoor use.

An egg profile is the shape that holds the most soil for its footprint, which matters more than it sounds. The widest point sits at the middle rather than the rim, so root volume is generous while the opening stays modest and the plant reads as emerging from the vessel rather than sitting on it.

Polystone is a stone powder bound in resin, and the practical consequence is that it takes a fine handmade surface without the weight or the frost-cracking of true stone. That is why a pot in this material can be left outdoors and still be moved when the planting is changed.

Buy both sizes if the position allows. Two eggs at different heights beside a doorway is one of the few groupings that works with identical shapes, because the profile is distinctive enough to bear repeating.
