Simona

The Simona pot by Bergs Potter is a romantic type of Parisian pot that we imagine has appeared in countless French homes since the peak of its popularity in the 1820s-1860s. It might be that Steffen Berg imagined this pot exactly in a place like Jeska and Dean’s, where it offers elegance and grace in a green and eclectic home. But the idea of Simona was born long before this summer day in Sussex.

Years ago, Steffen Berg spotted an enchanting pot in the middle of a flea market in Montmartre, which inspired him to create the French mademoiselle. Since then, the Simona pot has carefully come to life in the hands of our Tuscan craftsmen and women.

Despite her French origin, Dean and Jeska came across the Simona pot on one of their many Scandinavian travels. They took an instant interest in the delicate Mademoiselle and brought her back to their home just across the channel from her ancestors’ birthplace.

SIZE 16cm 

DETAILS

• Galestro terracotta clay
• Saucer is included
• Indoor or outdoor use
• Comes with drainage hole
• Each pot is hand-made in Tuscany Italy 
• Each pot or saucer is hand-finished; some variation in colour and texture should be expected. Due to the porous quality of natural clay, items will change colour or patina over time from exposure to water, handling, and salts found in soil. 
• Winter care: For best longevity, empty and place upside down on boards or pot feet during the winter months.

An eclectic taste and a passion for consciously crafted products fill their home and garden. As a natural lady, Simona blends in. Born from Italian quality clay with very high density, her stout soul allows her to withstand boiling heat, chilly weather and soaking in a downpour. Just like the rest of the iconic, raw Bergs Potter pots, she is lovingly conceived without adding any harmful additives which makes the raw terracotta pots from Bergs perfectly suitable for growing edible plants.
