The Winter’s Tale Pot

Product Details

Inspired by William Shakespeare’s ode to spring in The Winter’s Tale, Whichford Pottery’s straight-sided pot is illustrated by his lines “When daffodils begin to peer, Why, then comes in the sweet o’ the year.” His words are framed by Daffodils and bordered by narrow raised bands rendered in the master potter’s gray slip trailing. We recommend the use of larger bark mulch or a wire mesh screen to cover the drainage hole.

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. If you choose to overwinter your pots outside, cover them and place in a protected area where they are not in contact with bare ground.
