Simona Pot & Saucer
A Plant Pot and Saucer with a Story to Tell
The Simona plant pot and saucer is not your ordinary garden pot. Its design takes its roots from the flea markets of Montmartre and the cobbled streets of Paris's Latin Quarter, where pots just like this one were spotted in 19th century French homes and gardens. Steffen Berg of Bergs Potter was inspired by these antique finds and worked with skilled Tuscan potters to bring this classic shape back to life. The result is an antique-inspired plant pot with saucer that carries real history in every curve, and a quiet, timeless charm that suits both traditional and modern homes.
Handcrafted in Tuscany, Built to Last
Every Simona terracotta pot and saucer is designed in Denmark and handmade by skilled potters in Tuscany, Italy. Bergs Potter uses only the finest, high-density Italian Galestro clay, which is fired at very high temperatures to give it natural strength. This means the pot can handle outdoor weather, from warm summer days through to colder months, without cracking or losing its shape. Because each piece is shaped by hand, no two pots are exactly alike. Small differences in colour and texture are part of what makes each one special. With proper care, a Simona pot can be passed from one generation to the next, making it a genuinely lasting addition to your home.
Why the Matching Plant Pot Saucer Matters
The Simona comes with its own matching saucer, and that matters more than you might think. The saucer is treated to be fully waterproof, so it can sit safely on indoor surfaces without leaving marks or moisture damage. It collects excess water after watering, which means your plant's roots stay healthy and the pot does not dry out too quickly. For smaller plants in particular, this steady moisture makes a big difference. As a garden pots and saucers set, the Simona keeps things neat, balanced, and beautiful at the same time. No searching for a saucer that fits. It is already done for you.
What to Grow in a Simona Rose Plant Pot
The Simona's soft, rounded shape and delicate pearl-string detail along the rim make it a wonderful choice as a rose plant pot. A compact terracotta rose looks truly at home in it, and the natural clay does a fine job of supporting healthy root growth for flowering plants. Herbs, succulents, ferns, and trailing plants are equally happy here. Because the raw terracotta clay is porous, it allows air and moisture to reach the roots naturally, which encourages healthy growth. The Simona works equally well as a decorative planter holding a single statement plant or grouped with other pots on a windowsill or outdoor step for a more layered look.
A Decorative Planter for Indoors and Out
One of the things we love most about the Simona is how easily it moves between spaces. Place it on a kitchen windowsill with fresh herbs, sit it on a patio step beside other terracotta pieces, or use it as a centrepiece on a table with a trailing plant inside. Its warm rosa terracotta tone works with natural wood, stone, painted surfaces, and aged metal alike. For winter care, it is best to empty the pot and turn it upside down on pot feet or boards to protect it through the coldest months. Indoors, it simply stays where it is, looking as good as the day it arrived.
A Thoughtful Gift for Plant Lovers
If you are looking for a gift for plant lovers, the Simona plant pot and saucer is one of those rare finds that feels considered and beautiful at once. Its Parisian elegance, handmade quality, and timeless design make it something a person will actually keep and use, not just admire once and put away. It suits any home, any gardener, and any occasion, from a birthday to a housewarming to simply saying thank you.
