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:

The large Tika in White is a glazed ceramic plant pot with a center drainage hole and a matching saucer, and we made it first, because of course we did. White is where everything starts, classic, goes everywhere, the color that has never once had to justify itself to anyone in any room. It is the one Tika we never had to talk a single customer into.

It is the black-and-white photograph of your grandparents from 1945, the one where they are both dressed impeccably and looking just off camera with the particular confidence of people who have not yet been asked to have opinions about houseplant pots. Glazed ceramic holds moisture more evenly than raw terracotta, and the glaze wipes clean. White was always going to be first. White has always known it. The only surprise was the nine other colors we made after it, which your grandparents, to their credit, would have understood completely.

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.

White: The Original Large Tika Ceramic Pot

White looks like the easy colour. It is the hardest one to get right. A bad white yellows over time. A cheap white reads like an appliance. A cold white makes a plant look sickly. We chased a white that did none of that. It is warmer than you expect and cleaner than you fear.

It was the first Tika colour we made. Of course it was. White is where every ceramics studio starts. The difference is how long we kept refining ours. A white pot has nowhere to hide. Every flaw shows. So we removed the flaws.

It is, predictably, the bestseller. People reach for white when they cannot decide. The funny thing is they rarely regret it. White frames any plant. It fits any room. It never argues with the wallpaper. It is the safe choice that genuinely is safe.

People buy white in pairs. Then they buy a loud colour to sit beside it. The white makes the loud one louder. It plays the straight man for the whole shelf. Every cast needs one.

We made nine other colours after white. None of them retired it. White was first. White will be last. It has earned both, quietly, the way white tends to.

The shape was settled long before the colour was, which is usually how it goes here.

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.

The Tika Family

The Tika comes in three sizes. Three-inch, five-inch, and Large. White runs in the eight-inch Large. Same glaze across the family. Same drainage. Same saucer. White was the first colour we made. Nine others followed. None of them clash. Pick a few. The set was built to mix.

Pots With Drainage

Every pot in this collection has a real drainage hole. The Large Tika does too, plus a saucer. White is the safe colour and still drains right. Browse the full drainage range. A clean white pot fails if roots sit in water.
