A rare and beautiful pot from China, made from papier maché – an unusual and historically significant material that gives each piece its distinctive character. Its generous size and traditional pattern on one side make it a striking and personal interior detail.
Perfect for storing blankets, cushions or accessories in a hallway or living space. If used as a planter, an inner pot with a saucer is required, as the material is paper-based.
Papier maché, meaning “chewed paper”, was patented in Europe in the 18th century but had already been used in China as early as 200 BC, making this piece a timeless example of craftsmanship and reuse.
