Story

The design of this bonsai statue pot draws from two strong elements in Eastern culture: the serene young monk and the resilient bamboo. The monk represents a search for inner peace, while bamboo symbolizes strength and integrity.

The character "An" (安) embossed on the pot is a widely understood symbol for peace, safety, and tranquility. When you add this planter to your space, you are incorporating a piece that reflects these values, creating a focal point for calm and reflection in your home or garden.

Care

Crafted from durable Hoang Tho clay, your Viet Potter figurine can withstand water and outdoor conditions.

Here's how to clean and care for your ceramic figurine:

  1. Rinse: Gently rinse the figurine with clean water.
  2. Soft Brush: Use a soft brush (an old toothbrush works great!) to gently scrub away any moss or dirt.
  3. Air Dry: Allow the figurine to air dry completely.

Please note: Avoid using any chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools, as these may damage the figurine's surface.
