{"product_id":"sumi-pot","title":"Sumi Pot","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Sumi Pot has an elemental quality, shaped by hand and defined by the expressive character of traditionally fired terracotta. Its rounded, almost spherical form is finished with layers of smoky black, earthy ochre and chalky white, creating an irregular surface that feels painterly rather than precise. Hand-thrown and decorated by artisan potters in the Philippines, subtle variations in form, colour and markings are intrinsic to each piece. At 32 cm high, its generous proportions give it presence on a console, sideboard or open shelf, either left unfilled or paired with a simple branch.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDesign Details\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHand-thrown terracotta with a rounded body, narrow opening and softly tapered base.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTraditionally kiln-fired and individually hand-decorated by artisan potters in the Philippines.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLayered black, ochre and white finish creates organic transitions, markings and tonal variation across the surface.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhy It Works\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe dark upper finish creates visual weight, balanced by the lighter, more textural lower portion.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEarthy tones sit naturally alongside timber, stone, linen and other tactile materials associated with organic and Japandi-influenced interiors.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIts sculptural proportions allow the pot to hold its own as an object, without requiring elaborate styling.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFAQs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWill every Sumi Pot look exactly the same?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNo. Each pot is handmade, kiln-fired and hand-decorated, so variations in colour, surface markings and form should be expected.
