*Sizes listed refer only to the container (the flowerpot portion).
To allow the vessel to be used with plants while retaining its chips and distortions, we drilled a drainage hole in the bottom and repurposed it as a plant pot. We’ve crafted it so that the plants planted by Araheam and the vessel blend together as a single landscape.
・Drainage hole included
・One-of-a-kind piece
・Individual variations exist (including chips and cracks)
■ Plant
Euphorbia submamillaris
This Euphorbia features a series of small, columnar shapes that create a unique rhythm. It is well-adapted to dry soil and requires only moderate watering. While it has a rustic appearance, the closer you look, the more complex its details become, and it slowly changes its appearance over time.
Shadows and highlights created by the light bring subtle changes to your daily life.
We hope you’ll enjoy not only the plant itself but also the very process of nurturing it alongside its pot.
■ Care Instructions
・Location
Prefers a sunny, well-ventilated spot.
Indoors, place it near a window where it receives as much light as possible.
・Watering
Water only after the soil has dried out completely.
As a general guideline, water once every 2–3 weeks from spring through fall, and about once a month in winter.
・Temperature
Since it is sensitive to cold, keep the temperature above 5°C during the winter.
・Precautions
If damaged, it will ooze white sap.
This sap may cause skin irritation if it comes into contact with your skin, so please handle with care.
■ About the Cups Used
This product uses non-standard cups—those that developed warping, unevenness, or small marks during firing—to “give them a new lease on life.”
We have given a new purpose to vessels that would otherwise have reached the end of their useful life.
You may notice warped shapes, marks from the firing process, small surface irregularities or spots, and uneven glaze.
We have selected only those that fully fulfill their function as planters.
About ONE KILN Reproduction
In ceramics, you never know what will happen until you remove the pieces from the kiln.
Drying, glazing, and the shrinkage of the clay—numerous factors interplay, often producing results that differ from what was intended.
Among these, there are pieces that were never used.
A slight warp. An uneven glaze. Or perhaps a crack.
Items that would normally never have seen the light of day remain in the studio.
I simply couldn’t bring myself to throw them away.
Toward the end of 2023, while preparing for the ash Design & Craft Fair, a new direction began to take shape.
To re-select the items that had never been used.
“Reproduction” isn’t about restoring the pieces to their original state.
Rather than aiming for perfection, it’s an attempt to bring them back into daily life in a different form.
Kintsugi. Scented candles. Grinding shards in a pot mill. Or drilling holes to plant greenery.
Even if they’re unfinished, we continue to use them and keep exploring our relationship with them.
As they’re used, their meaning gradually shifts.
