Bergs Potter Simona Terracotta Pot

The Simona Terracotta Pot shares the same form as its glazed counterpart: a gently tapered body with fine vertical ridges and a hand-pressed pearl detail along the upper rim. Each pot comes with a matching saucer. Available in Grey and Rosa, sizes run from 12 cm to 18 cm in diameter. The porous terracotta breathes naturally, drawing moisture away from roots and regulating soil temperature, which makes it genuinely well-suited to herbs and plants that dislike sitting in wet soil. Works indoors and outdoors equally well. How it tends to get used:

• Rosemary, lavender, and other Mediterranean herbs on a sunny balcony or terrace table, where the raw clay and the plants feel like they belong together
• Scented geraniums, salvias, or other cottage-style bloomers on an outdoor step or garden shelf, where the Rosa tone picks up the warm tones of the flowers
• Spring bulbs like daffodils or narcissus indoors on a windowsill or dining table, potted up for a seasonal display
• Mixed with other sizes in a loose cluster on a patio, where slight variations in clay tone across pieces add to the overall texture

Handmade in Tuscany from premium Italian clay, the Simona collection is shaped entirely by hand in a small workshop. The dense clay lets roots breathe and retain moisture, and the waterproof saucer treatment makes it practical indoors without surface damage. 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.
