Whichford Avocet Pot

The avocet, a shore bird that can often be seen wading in the shallows, is distinctive and delightful in the natural world, its long-legged silhouette and turned-up bill easy to recognize. Rendered in bas relief on one side of the Whichford Avocet Pot, it provides the perfect form and character for this tall, slender vessel. Like all Whichford pots, this one is handcrafted at the company’s family-run pottery in England and is made using locally sourced clay. The container is wheel-thrown with a rounded rim and tapering line. The bird is applied and detailed by one of the pottery’s skilled artisans. The Avocet Pot is lovely for taller-stemmed or bushy occupants including Papyrus, Ferns, large-leafed Coleus, and bigger Begonias.

All Whichford pots have a 10-year frost-proof guarantee. In colder climates where they may be subject to freeze/thaw cycles, we recommend emptying and storing them indoors.
