Atlas Pot
The Atlas Pot in sturdy terracotta, designed to stand on the shoulders of its saucer counterpart. Inspired by the legendary Titan Atlas, who carried the weight of the heavens on his shoulders, this pot is characterized by its repeating circular patterns of vertical lines, symbolizing the arduous and perpetual task of its mythological namesake. Much like the enduring spirit of Atlas, this pot is built to stand the test of time, promising longevity and resilience when cared for. Just as Atlas persevered in his celestial task, this pot will continue to thrive and serve as a timeless feature in any garden or home.

About
Founded in Copenhagen in 1942, Bergs Potter is celebrated for crafting timeless terracotta pots designed to be treasured for generations. Made from premium Italian clay, each pot offers a beautiful balance of strength and natural porosity, supporting healthy plant growth through thoughtful, functional design.

Note
Each pot and saucer is hand-finished; some variation in colour and texture should be expected. Due to the porous quality of natural clay, items will change colour or patina over time from exposure to water, handling, and salts found in soil.
