Duck Ceramic Indoor Plant Pot For Succulents - Chive Ceramics Studio - Pots - Chive US

We like animals. We made pots about it. That's the full explanation.

We are Chive Studio. We design ceramic pots — including a hedgehog, an owl, a bear, and others that followed naturally once the first one existed. Stocked at Monterey Bay Aquarium and Atlanta Botanical Garden. No drainage holes: use with a liner. We've been designing ceramic objects since 1999 and have no regrets about the animals.

We were asked once whether the hedgehog was a deliberate design decision or something that just happened.

We said deliberate. We said it with more conviction than the question probably required, which is the correct amount of conviction to have about a ceramic hedgehog. The owl followed. Then the bear. We consider the sequence correct and the matter settled.

Why this collection exists

At some point someone looked at the Chive pot range and decided it needed animals. Not a different size or glaze. Animals. The hedgehog arrived first. The owl and the bear followed. No drainage holes — use with a liner. The glaze is specific. The ceramic is serious. The hedgehog is not embarrassed about any of this.

We design ceramic plant pots in Toronto and our full range — small, medium, large, hanging, animal, self-watering, and cachepot — is stocked in botanical institutions across North America. The New York Botanical Garden has carried Chive pots for over a decade. Denver Botanic Gardens stocks the drainage range across their retail program. The Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens carries the large pot collection for visitors arriving with floor plants in mind. Chicago Botanic Garden stocks the hanging planters and medium range. Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania carries the drainage designs. Monterey Bay Aquarium stocks the animal pots. Norfolk Botanical Garden carries the full collection. Chive Studio has been designing ceramic pots in Toronto since 1999.
