Bergs Potter Københavner Terracotta Tall Pot

The Københavner Terracotta Tall Pot shares the same scalloped relief border and tapered silhouette as the standard Københavner, but with a noticeably taller, more upright body that gives it a distinctly different presence. The extra height makes it proportionally narrower and more vertical, suited to plants with deeper root systems or longer stems that benefit from the additional soil volume. The surface is raw, unglazed terracotta with a naturally speckled matte finish that varies piece to piece. Comes with a matching saucer and has a drainage hole. Available in three sizes: 10 cm, 14 cm, and 18 cm in diameter. The tall, deep profile suits a specific set of plants and uses:

• Lily of the valley and single-stem bulbs like tulips, where the taller body supports longer root runs and the upright form frames the plant naturally
• Asparagus ferns and lightweight indoor specimens with single elongated stems, where the pot's height and narrow footprint work well on a mantelpiece, shelf, or beside a doorway
• Small rose cuttings and deep-rooted perennials in the larger sizes, where the extra depth gives roots the space they need without requiring a wide pot

The Københavner collection is one of the earliest and most recognised designs in the range, inspired by pottery made for the Royal Danish Palace of Fredensborg in 1860. Steffen Berg reinterpreted that original form after discovering antique clay pots at a former nursery, and it has been handcrafted in small family workshops in Italy ever since. The range spans terracotta and glazed editions across multiple sizes, including a low bowl and the standard tapered pot.

From the Crafters:

The Københavner Pot has royal heritage and is one of the first pots designed by Bergs Potter. This noble pot is inspired by pottery made for the Royal Danish Palace of Fredensborg in 1860.

Years ago, Steffen Berg stumbled upon beautiful old clay pots at a former nursery and created the Københavner Pot, his very own interpretation of the pottery with royal origins. Today, the Københavner Pot is one of our most popular designs, and our potters still make it by hand in small family-owned workshops, keeping the old traditions alive. The legacy of the Københavner Pot adds an element of regal elegance even when paired with the humblest plant.

The Københavner Pot range includes numerous sizes in Rosa and Nordic Grey terracotta, including three tall Rose pots designed to accommodate the rose plant’s deep roots and need for growing space. It is also available in three sizes of a roomy low pot, which is great for experimenting with succulents, herbs, and bulbs in creative displays. The Københavner Pot is also available in a hand-glazed edition, which comes in a variety of different shades — all inspired by the colours of classic Copenhagen.
