The terracotta UFO Pot from Japanese Izawa Ceramics “seemingly floats on air."
It’s inspired by, of all things, UFOs. “The hemispherical shape effectively improves drainage efficiency, while the horizontally protruding rim, the delicate mobile-like wires, and the simple minimalist structure make the plant stand out and produce even more of a floating effect,” the makers say. The Tokoname red clay is fired at high temperatures, so “its water retention capacity is greater than that of a normal baked pot.” The wires are rust-resistant stainless steel.
