A handmade terracotta plant pot with a rich green shade, strongly textured surface and rounded form that tapers subtly towards the top opening. Light highlights the small variations in texture and gives the colour greater depth, while its full silhouette creates a stable base for plants with lush or strongly patterned foliage.

Green with depth
A textured surface that comes alive as the light changes
The Raquel’s texture creates small shifts of light and shadow so the green shade never appears flat. The broader rounded body provides visual stability, while the narrower opening keeps the composition gathered around the plant and highlights its foliage.
The Raquel identity
Rich green shadeIt connects naturally with foliage while providing enough depth for light, white or purple details to stand out.
Strong reliefThe worked surface adds character and subtle variations in colour tone.
Rounded formThe full body and narrower opening create a balanced, compact silhouette.
Plant pairingsPairs particularly well with Calathea makoyana, Calathea ‘Stella’ and Spathiphyllum: patterned or variegated leaves and white flowers create a clear contrast with the rich green relief, as do other plants available in Ø13–14 cm nursery pots.
Where it looks bestOn a console table, low cabinet, wide windowsill or side table, alongside light wood, natural stone, ecru textures and ceramics in soft earthy tones.

How to use
As a decorative pot cover, with the plant kept in its nursery pot
Practical use
Place a plant in a Ø13–14 cm nursery pot inside.
For watering, remove the nursery pot and allow it to drain thoroughly before returning it.
Because this is handmade terracotta, do not leave water in the base and protect the surface beneath the plant pot.
Cleaning & protection
Clean it with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth.
Avoid abrasive sponges and harsh chemical cleaners.
On wood or another sensitive surface, place a protective layer underneath.
Handmade construction note: small variations in colour, texture or dimensions may occur from one piece to another and are a natural part of the construction. Complete watertightness is not guaranteed.
Frequently asked questions
What nursery-pot size fits inside the Raquel?
It is suitable for plants in Ø13–14 cm nursery pots. Because the actual rim and shape vary between pots, measure the external diameter at the top before placing it inside.
Why is the plant pot Ø19 cm but designed for a smaller nursery pot?
The 19 cm measurement is the plant pot’s maximum external diameter. The Raquel tapers towards the top, so the compatible nursery-pot size is Ø13–14 cm.
Does it have a drainage hole?
No. The Raquel is used as a decorative pot cover, with the plant kept in its nursery pot.
Can I plant directly in the decorative pot?
Keep the plant in its nursery pot inside so watering and drainage can be controlled more easily.
Is it suitable for outdoor use?
The Raquel is intended for decorative indoor use, protected from constant moisture and changing weather conditions.
