To highlight the beauty of the plant and foster healthy growth―the MARCO POT was born out of these ideals. It is a hemispherical unglazed pot made from a combination of unglazed materials and copper. The excellent breathability and moisture control of the clay pot facilitates respiration, while the copper dish with antimicrobial action prevents bacterial growth and water corrosion. Also, since the three spheres on the tray support the pot, proper ventilation will be ensured even as you tilt the bowl to any angle you like. The plants can sprout, and flowers can bloom freely. You will be able to enjoy various facets of the plant merely by changing the angle of the pot.

About the Clay / MIKAWA Blend

MIKAWA Blend features a gentle texture and lightness. Its hint of color—a blush of cherry blossom pink—comes from the material itself rather than additional pigments or glaze. The clay is specially blended with white clay from Seto and chamotte made of recycled roof tiles from the region of Mikawa. When baked slowly at a low temperature of 800 ℃, the porous yet strong pot could realize great drainage, making it ideal for delicate plants prone to root rot. >>> See pots with high water retention here.
