Adorable Planters Bring a Friendly Face to Your Indoor Garden

One of the ways in which I became obsessed with con­tem­po­rary planters was through see­ing the work of Stel­la Bag­gott, aka Ate­lier Stel­la. The styl­ish pots are sim­ple in form but are strik­ing (and adorable) in their sur­face dec­o­ra­tion. Each has a tiny, jubi­lant face that is paired with stamped pat­terns or col­or­ful glaz­ing techniques.

“My pots are hand built or sculpt­ed from slabs and pinch pots to cre­ate unique pieces that I would love in my home—and I do have a lot,” Stel­la says. “I’m influ­enced by Swedish and Ital­ian pot­ters from the 50’s and 60’s, mix­ing the rus­tic use of pat­terns with the friv­o­li­ty of character.”

Stel­la sells her work on Etsy and through her web­site. Find out about her lat­est cre­ations on Insta­gram.
