Katakana is a ceramic plant pot from a stretch when this studio was, collectively and thoroughly, under the influence of Marie Kondo, a phase that lasted close to a year and produced a great deal of folded laundry and at least one very minimalist plant pot.

The name borrows from the Japanese script used for foreign words, which felt right for a glaze that was, in its own quiet way, translating an entire philosophy of restraint into ceramic. We have since returned to our regular levels of clutter. The pot remains as evidence that for a while we genuinely tried. There is no drainage hole, so plant a succulent or use it as a cover pot for a nursery container you can lift out to water. Katakana is the calmest thing we make, a small monument to a tidiness we could not, in the end, sustain.
