Curate Your Indoor Landscape With These:

Designed to layer beautifully in any room. Choose a piece as your design anchor, then build your custom pottery collection with these complementary companions:

We made the Large Dojo in Light Gray because shelves are full of boring pots. This one strips away the nonsense. Clean lines only. The neutral does its work without announcing itself.

It comes in six, seven, and eight inches. The porcelain body is heavy and sits low. The walls are thick and the base is weighted. It will not tip under a Fiddle-Leaf Fig. A real drainage hole runs through the base. A matching matte saucer catches the runoff, not an afterthought. Your table stays dry and clean. Water never pools at the roots.

No shiny coat to cheapen the profile. Just matte porcelain, sealed inside and out. The flat finish hides fingerprints and water spots. It lets a loud plant take the lead and stays calm. It holds soil and keeps your plant alive. No root rot from standing water. We build it to last, not to trend. It sits quietly on your shelf for a decade.

Potting Tips

  1. Repot in the evening.
  2. Wait 1–2 days after watering, then repot.
  3. Buy potting mix. Not backyard dirt.
  4. Move the top layer of soil from the old pot into the new one. It's a little ecosystem.
  5. Never go more than one inch bigger.
  6. Soil line sits an inch below the rim. Leca or small rocks at the bottom for drainage.

Pot Care instructions
  1. Dishwasher-safe. Can also be hand-washed with warm soapy water and a soft cloth.
  2. Glazed pots are dipped and fired in the kiln — they are sealed, durable, and not looking for trouble. No special cleaning products required.
  3. For pots with saucers empty the saucer periodically. Standing water in the saucer defeats the purpose of having a drainage hole, which is a thing we feel strongly about.
  4. Not frost-safe. Designed for indoor use and covered outdoor temperate weather use. Freezing temperatures are not recommended.

Light Grey Porcelain: The Neutral That Never Announces Itself

The true story behind the Large Dojo in Light Grey comes down to a drafting argument in the studio over its geometric profile. We designed this matte porcelain planter, offered in six, seven, and eight inches, with sharp, structural lines because mass-market pots look completely boring on a modern windowsill.

This is not lightweight clay; we engineered the base footprint with heavy walls so it will not tip when holding a top-heavy Fiddle-Leaf Fig or a trailing pothos.

Instead of a glossy finish, the Light Grey wears a quiet matte architectural finish that catches natural evening daylight and lets a loud plant lead.

For real functionality, a precision-drilled drainage hole runs through the base floor to prevent stagnant root rot, supported by a matching matte saucer designed to save your wood table or office desktop from water stains.

It became a studio favourite because it represents a stubborn refusal to dilute our shapes for big-box retail distributors. We spent four months adjusting the porcelain body just to preserve the minimal exterior profile without sacrificing the root environment.

We do not manufacture scarcity or change our lines for fleeting seasonal trends. We build heavy, reliable porcelain meant to sit quietly on your shelf for a decade while keeping your indoor plants alive.

Look closely at the interior floor and you can see the tooling marks from our workshop trials, left raw as proof that humans fought to get this shape right.

Potting a plant with Chive

  1. It's best to repot your plant in the evening. Trust us, we know.
  2. Repot 1–2 days after watering — keeps the same rhythm going and won't shock it.
  3. Potting soil is not the dirt from your backyard. Go buy good, nutrient-rich soil.
  4. The top layer of soil in your current pot should be the top layer in the new pot too. It's a little ecosystem your plant likes.
  5. Never go more than one inch bigger than your existing pot. "It'll grow into it" is not correct, and you will kill it.
  6. Keep the soil line about an inch below the top of the pot. Add some leca or small rocks to the bottom for better aeration.

The Ultimate Repotting Guide

For those who have killed a plant. Or several. Or, frankly, many.

Before you put a plant into your new pot, you have to get it out of the nursery pot — a process that ends badly more often than any gardening influencer will admit. We wrote a full guide: when to repot (early spring, and not when you're feeling impulsive in October), which soil to use, how to tell your plant is root-bound, and how to avoid the three mistakes that kill perfectly healthy plants within a week of a well-intentioned repotting.

What Fits the Large Dojo

Loud foliage wants a quiet pot. The Large Dojo runs 6 to 8 inches. Light Grey lets the plant lead. It never steals the scene. Try a begonia maculata. Try a trailing pothos. Try a fiddle-leaf fig. The grey does the quiet work.

Built to Drain, Not Just Sit

This collection is built to drain. Each pot has a drilled hole at the base. Each ships with a saucer underneath. Excess water has somewhere to go. Root rot never gets a chance.

Grow It From Seed

The quiet pot deserves something growing in it. Shido Seeds are an easy start. Sprout herbs on the sill. Sprout flowers when the mood hits. The seeds are good quality and grow true. Begin small. Move the seedlings into Light Grey when they are ready.

Frequently asked questions

The pot is sorted. Now what goes in it?

Shido seeds come vacuum-sealed, non-GMO, and packaged well enough that people keep the packets after the seeds are gone. Which is either a design success or a problem, depending on how you look at it.
