Skultuna

I have coveted the brass plant pots by Swedish brand Skultuna for some time now, and I finally decided to buy one for myself as a birthday present last month. I opted for the brushed finish, which is luminous in a subtle way and goes well with my deliberately tarnished (yes, deliberately - not because I can't be bothered to polish!) 70's brass side tables either side of our sofa. It lights up a corner of our sitting room now that the evenings have become so much darker. It is larger than I expected, the medium size which I selected would suit a decent-sized pot plant (therefore, if one wasn't up to spending too much money one could perfectly well chose the small size, which would fit most indoor plants I should think).

One of the reasons why I had delayed in aquiring one of these gleaming pots was simply that I didn't know where to buy one here in the UK. Until I discovered an online shop called Royal Designs which sells a very good selection of Nordic designs. I think this could become slightly dangerous, as there were so many things on their site that I wanted... In any case, they were very efficient, my parcel arrived less than a week later and postage (it came all the way from Sweden) was very reasonable.
