The Sidney Ceramic Planter is 28cm square and 24cm high, in white ceramic with a smooth unbroken silhouette. It is a mid-sized vessel for a pre-potted plant. It suits indoor positions.

A smooth white cylinder is the most neutral vessel available, and neutrality is a real specification rather than an absence of one. It is the pot to choose when the plant is unusual enough to carry the arrangement on its own, or when several pots need to read as one group without matching exactly.

At 28cm across this is the size that takes a nursery pot straight from a garden centre without repotting, which is worth knowing. A grower's pot of the usual size for a plant this scale drops straight in, and the vessel swallows it without a gap showing at the rim.

Smooth ceramic shows every mark, which is the trade for its cleanness. Keep it away from the spot where the watering can gets set down.
