Previously, I introduced a "Plant Pot Collection," but it was all about the "dark & chic" styles. For this second edition, as I hinted last time, I'm bringing you a collection of "adorable" pots! Honestly, I'm way more into the cute styles myself (lol), and even though I hunt far and wide, it's surprisingly rare to find one that truly matches my taste—even though there's so much variety out there! The pots I'm sharing this time are a carefully curated selection from all the ones I've checked out and personally adore.

aterier YAACHO Saki Takagi

To kick things off, I’d like to introduce the handmade works of Saki Takagi from "aterier YAACHO." Saki Takagi's Instagram

Of course, the cute colors and homey, rustic designs are obviously adorable, but what really draws me in are these mysterious, hard-to-describe motifs. If you look closely, they're just combinations of geometric shapes like circles and squares—but somehow they evoke the feeling of birds, plants, and nature.

When I asked where the idea came from—since they seemed oddly familiar—I learned they were inspired by "ancient ruins." But it's not about actual historic ruins: it's really about the atmosphere of adventure games like 'The Legend of Zelda.' That totally resonated with me since I was hooked on adventure games at the time, and we bonded over that topic!

Mainly, Takagi specializes in tiles, so if you want to see more of her lineup or event info, definitely check out her official Instagram!

You can also shop their tile pieces and simply designed pots online at "BOWCS Tile Market"—highly recommend browsing there, too.

pottery Kinari

Next up is "pottery Kinari." These are warm and handcrafted, but the designs are refreshingly simple and understated—totally my thing. Most sizes are tiny to small, which makes them perfect for succulents, and while the shop displays them like bonsai pots, I keep imagining how adorable they'd look packed with succulents instead.

Their main pieces are pots, but the charming "Kinari House" is their iconic creation. It looks like they don’t have regular shop stockists, but they do pop up regularly at events like Lohas Festa. Be sure to follow their Instagram account to stay updated about where to find them next.

or.rang pottery

Lately, I've been really interested in Korean ceramic artists like "or.rang pottery." Their pots have an earthy texture, but the designs feel mysterious, with a soft, watercolor transparency and floating vibe. In Japan, "JK Succulents" carries them and sells them mainly at Kansai-based events, so check them out if you’re interested!

odoropot

This is another Korean artist I previously highlighted in the PUKUBOOK COLLECTION. I really loved their work (and so did everyone else!), but unfortunately they’ve had to pause international sales. If you really want one, you’ll have to hop over to Korea! (lol)

URBAN PLANTS POT

After all the handmade items, I have to say that there are also plenty of great mass-produced pots out there! A personal favorite is the "Urban Plants Pot" series by POSH LIVING. You've probably spotted them at local home goods stores.

Simple, affordable pots are a fiercely competitive “red ocean” among many brands at decor shops, but what sets these apart is their delightfully straightforward, mass-produced form, but with a beautifully textured finish that makes them feel anything but generic.

You can find them in the PUKUBOOK COLLECTION shop, too. (Honestly, we bought so many that our stock room is overflowing—so we’re selling them at rock-bottom internet prices. Please help us out! )

the Farm UNIVERSAL

Finally, if you’re not just looking for a particular brand but want to browse tons of cute pots, I highly recommend visiting the garden center "the Farm UNIVERSAL." Whether it's a huge location in the suburbs or a shop in the city, both offer a great selection of affordable, adorable pots.

I might be getting ahead of myself by saying this, but honestly, my goal is to capture the vibe of "the Farm UNIVERSAL"—that's the spirit I'm always striving for. They're my secret inspiration and I'll keep learning from them however I can.

Conclusion

So, while I know there are loads of cute and handmade pots out there, these are totally based on my own personal tastes. I haven't seen every pot in the world, so maybe there are even better ones out there, and I’m looking forward to discovering new favorites as I go!

Compared to the darker, chic styles I showcased before, the cute pots tend to be (for some reason) much more "affordable," which is also awesome from an everyday gardener’s perspective. But for these talented artists to keep making them at these prices, they need "enough sales" to keep going! I hope that by introducing their work—even just a little—I can help support them, more than just buying them myself.

If I come across more great pots or items, I'll be sure to share them. Stay tuned!
