Cape Town · made for bonsai
Every great tree starts small.
A seed. A little patience. A pot made to help it grow into something worth keeping.
Each pot starts with a pair of hands.
We throw and build in small batches, shaping each vessel for the tree it will hold.
Good roots need room to breathe.
Thoughtful proportions, drainage holes and fitted mesh make the pot work as beautifully as it looks.
Stoneware for seasons of care.
We fire each batch for strength, then test glazes so every finish feels at home with a living tree.
A good pot grows with its tree.
From a first seedling to an old friend, a Gecko Pot gives roots a steady place to settle.
A small repair
A seed needs a sound pot.
The seed has landed in a broken vessel. Take the brush from the side and clear away the old clay to uncover a new Gecko Pot.
The old pot needs a little care.
Take the brush, then sweep the broken pieces away.
