Sitting in Roots is a striped ceramic planter grounded by sculpted legs, allowing it to rest gently on any surface — quite literally sitting in its own roots. Finished with warm brown stripes, the piece draws inspiration from the relaxed rhythm of coastal beach pants worn on slow, salt-air days by the sea.
This planter is a quiet reminder of presence and grounding: to pause, to settle, and to grow where you are planted. Elevated yet rooted, it celebrates balance — between movement and stillness, playfulness and intention. Designed to hold living greenery, Sitting in Roots invites you to nurture something alive while honoring your own connection to place, ritual, and rest.

Sitting in Roots
Each piece is wheel-thrown, hand-sculpted, hand-painted, and uniquely finished by Spencer Elizabeth. Every ceramic vessel is bisque fired at 1850°F, glazed, dried, and then fired again at 2230°F to achieve its final form. Depending on the technique and complexity, completing a single piece can take one to two weeks, allowing time for careful painting, drying, and multiple firings.
Every vessel is one of a kind — subtle variations and imperfections are part of its natural beauty, giving each piece its own character. This multi-step, time-intensive, and humbling process is both challenging and deeply rewarding, and a grounding practice for the artist. Each mug, bowl, or vessel is crafted to bring elegance, mindfulness, and serenity to your daily rituals.
