Liberte Medium 4.25" Porcelain Plant Pot
with drainage hole and saucer
The Liberte Medium is a 4.25-inch porcelain plant pot with a matching saucer, first designed to hold its own next to the horticulture at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. The Skull colorway, a white glaze with a repeating skull pattern, wasn't in the original production plan. It sold out before the exhibition tents opened.
Porcelain fires hotter than standard ceramic, which gives it a dense, non-porous body and a glassy glazed finish. The drainage hole sits at the base, and the pot and saucer are made and glazed to match, so the fit stays clean over time. It reads as deliberate from across a room, which makes it a fair choice for a ninth-anniversary gift, the one traditionally marked in pottery.

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

- Dishwasher-safe. Can also be hand-washed with warm soapy water and a soft cloth.
- Glazed pots are dipped and kiln-fired — they are sealed, durable, and not looking for trouble. No special cleaning products required.
- 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.
- Not frost-safe. Designed for indoor use and covered outdoor temperate weather use. Freezing temperatures are not recommended.

The Skull color was not in the plan. We made it anyway.
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.
It is the guide we wish someone had handed us twenty-five years ago. It is written by people who have personally committed most of the errors in it.
