Large, bear-shaped planter by folkloric ceramic genius, Hikari Masuda, from October 2024.

In the shape of a seated bear - rendered in her iconic black "squiggle" design - this delightful planter features a detachable base formed into brightly coloured yellow pants.

The body of the bear forms the pot part of the planter - when it's taken off the base (ie. out of its pants), a cheeky pair of blue briefs is exposed underneath.
