Bergs Potter Simona Glazed Pot

The Simona Glazed Pot is a small, gently tapered flowerpot with fine vertical ridges running the full length of the body and a delicate row of pearls hand-pressed along the upper rim. Each pot comes with a matching saucer. The glaze is applied twice by hand, giving the surface depth and subtle variation across pieces. Available in Amber Yellow and Emerald Green, both colors are saturated enough to read strongly in a grouping while still complementing each other when mixed. Sizes run from 12 cm to 18 cm in diameter, keeping this firmly in the compact, detail-forward end of the range. Suited to indoor use year-round, with the glaze making it practical for a windowsill without worrying about moisture damage to surfaces. How it tends to get used:

• Violas, pansies, and small seasonal flowers potted up for a windowsill or shelf display, where the color of the glaze does as much work as the plant itself
• Herbs like basil, thyme, or chives in the kitchen, where the compact size fits a counter without taking over
• Grouped in multiples on a dining table as a centerpiece, mixing Amber Yellow and Emerald Green for contrast
• Succulents or small trailing plants on a bookshelf or side table, where the ridged surface and pearl rim add texture to the arrangement

Handmade in Tuscany from premium Italian clay, the Simona collection is shaped and glazed entirely by hand in a small workshop. The dense clay lets roots breathe and retain moisture, and the waterproof saucer treatment makes the pot practical indoors without a tray underneath. Designed in Scandinavia with a nod to mid-19th century French craft, these are small pots built to last and be kept.

From the Crafters:

Years ago, the romantic Simona Pot materialized in the head of Steffen Berg, as he strolled through busy and atmospheric flea markets in Montmartre. Now our charming and chic Simona Pot points to the aesthetics of the old Latin Quarter and can easily be imagined in the classic French homes and gardens of the 19th century.

Our sweet Parisian “femme” Simona has small pearls sitting neatly on a tight string along the upper rim. Adorned from every angle, she steps elegantly into the light, enhancing her beautiful and subtle details, ready to spread ‘amour’ everywhere she roams. Since Simona is like a classic girl of Montmartre, one might doubt her interest in deep, saturated colours, but look again, and you will find her more glowing than ever with the thick glaze enhancing all her details. Mon amour, je t’aime!

Today, our petit ‘pot de fleur’ is gently shaped by the skilled hands of our experienced potters.
