The 3-inch Bronze White is a glazed ceramic plant pot with a center drainage hole and a matching saucer, and it is a small bet on a prediction we genuinely believe in. We say this in the studio more than people probably believe us: the bronze, gold, and white palette of the 1970s Italian Riviera is the next big trend wave, and we have been saying it long enough that we finally just made the pot and let the rest of the industry catch up.

Glazed ceramic holds moisture more evenly than raw terracotta, and the finish resolves a little differently on every pot. Warm bronze against clean white is the kind of combination that looked expensive on a yacht in 1974 and looks exactly as expensive now. The small size is where we placed the first chip. If we are right, and we usually are about this sort of thing, you will simply be the one who had it first.

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.

Bronze White: A Bet on the Italian Riviera

We say this in the studio more often than anyone outside it believes: the bronze, gold, and white palette of the 1970s Italian Riviera is about to have its moment again, and we have been saying it long enough that we finally stopped waiting for permission and just made the pot. Bronze White is that conviction in object form. Warm metallic bronze set against a clean white, the kind of pairing that looked expensive on a yacht in 1974 and has lost none of it since.

The three-inch is the smallest version of the bet, which is the right size for a prediction that has not fully come true yet. We are comfortable being early. We have been early before, watched a colour story we started show up in a magazine a year and a half later credited to someone with better timing and worse memory, and made our peace with it. Each pot resolves a little differently, the bronze catching light against the white in its own way. A centre drainage hole and a matching saucer sit underneath, because even a pot built on a hunch still has a plant to keep alive. Buy it now and you will have been right sooner than the people who get the credit.


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 Same Glaze, Other Sizes

Bronze White comes in two sizes, the same Riviera palette at each. The small is the first chip on a prediction we are content to wait out.

Water It Like You Mean It

The Minute Small in Bronze White drains the way it should, which only matters if the watering keeps pace. A proper can or mister makes the difference, and ours look the part on a counter.

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.
