Whichford Avocet Pot

The avocet, a shore bird that can often be seen wading in the shallows, is distinctive and delightful in the natural world, its long-legged silhouette and turned-up bill easy to recognize. Rendered in bas relief on one side of the Whichford Avocet Pot, it provides the perfect form and character for this tall, slender vessel. Like all Whichford pots, this one is handcrafted at the company’s family-run pottery in England and is made using locally sourced clay. The container is wheel-thrown with a rounded rim and tapering line. The bird is applied and detailed by one of the pottery’s skilled artisans. The Avocet Pot is lovely for taller-stemmed or bushy occupants including Papyrus, Ferns, large-leafed Coleus, and bigger Begonias.

All Whichford pots have a 10-year frost-proof guarantee. In colder climates where they may be subject to freeze/thaw cycles, we recommend emptying and storing them indoors. If you choose to overwinter your pots outside, cover them and place in a protected area where they are not in contact with bare ground.

We are pleased to offer a wide range of attractive containers for both garden and indoor use. These items are generally shipped separately from plants and other items and will, in most cases, ship within a few days of order. Our guarantee applies to all containers - please contact us if your item is damaged in transit or otherwise fails to meet your expectations.

Many containers we offer are large and some are quite heavy, and we put a great deal of care into packing these items for safe transit. Accordingly, these "oversize" items are often subject to shipping & handling charges in excess of our standard rates. We make every effort to communicate, for every item to which these excess charges apply, which shipping destinations are impacted and how these charges are applied. If you have any questions about the shipping & handling charges attendant to a container purchase, please contact our customer service team. 

We utilize both UPS and the USPS, depending on the size/weight of the package and the shipping distance. Both services provide tracking numbers which we include in shipment notification emails. We require a street address for delivery and request that you provide a shipping address where a daytime recipient is available. We cannot be responsible for delivery problems that stem from an incorrectly entered shipping address.
