Introducing The Octagon Pott: Our Collaboration with Pottery West

There's something incredibly special about handmade pottery.

The time, care and attention that goes into every piece. The little details that make each one unique. And the knowledge that something so beautiful has been created by hand, with the intention of being used and loved for years to come.

At Pott, our love of handmade ceramics has always been at the heart of what we do.

That's why we're so excited to introduce The Octagon Pott, our collaboration with the wonderful team at Pottery West.

Bringing together distinctive ceramic design, beautiful craftsmanship and our refillable candle concept, The Octagon is a celebration of everything we love about pottery.

Meet The Octagon Pott

Our latest ceramic collaboration is all about the details.

The Octagon Pott takes its name from its distinctive eight-sided design, bringing a beautiful geometric element to our collection of handmade ceramic candles.

With its sculptural shape and considered proportions, The Octagon is designed to be more than just a candle vessel.

It's a piece of pottery that deserves to be displayed and enjoyed, whether it's filled with your favourite candle fragrance or sitting on a shelf between refills.

The beauty of its design lies in the balance between something striking and something timeless.

It's a candle Pott that makes a statement without feeling out of place in your home.

Meet the Makers: Pottery West

Behind The Octagon is Pottery West, the Yorkshire-based pottery studio founded by Catherine and Matt West.

Working together from their studio in Yorkshire, Catherine and Matt create beautiful wheel-thrown stoneware, combining their backgrounds in art, design and architecture with a love of traditional pottery techniques.

Their work is known for its thoughtful forms, carefully considered details and beautiful finishes.

What we particularly love about Pottery West is their approach to making.

Their ceramics celebrate the relationship between form and function, creating everyday objects that feel special without losing their practicality.

It's an approach that feels incredibly close to our own philosophy at Pott.

We believe beautiful things should be used, enjoyed and kept, rather than treated as disposable.

And that's exactly what makes this collaboration such a lovely fit.

A Celebration of Handmade British Pottery

One of the things that makes The Octagon Pott so special is the craftsmanship behind it.

Pottery West's work combines precision with the individual character that comes from making ceramics by hand.

Rather than producing something completely uniform, handmade pottery celebrates subtle variations that make each piece feel personal.

It's one of the reasons we've always chosen to work with independent potters.

Every Pott has its own character, and every piece represents the skill and care of the person who made it.

By collaborating with Pottery West, we're continuing to celebrate the incredible talent of British ceramic makers and bringing something a little different to our collection.

Beautiful Design Meets Refillable Candles

Of course, The Octagon isn't just a beautiful ceramic vessel.

It's also a refillable candle.

At Pott, we've always believed that a candle vessel should be something you want to keep long after the wax has finished.

Rather than purchasing a completely new candle every time, our refillable system allows you to reuse your ceramic Pott with a new candle refill.

Once your candle has finished, simply clean your Pott and add your next refill.

It's a simple way to enjoy beautiful home fragrance while keeping the pottery you love.

And with a design as distinctive as The Octagon, we think you'll want to keep it on display for a very long time.

The Perfect Pott for Cosy Evenings

There's something about autumn and winter that makes us appreciate our homes a little more.

As the evenings draw in, we find ourselves reaching for comforting fragrances, warm lighting and the little everyday rituals that make staying in feel special.

The Octagon Pott fits beautifully into these moments.

Its sculptural ceramic shape makes it a lovely addition to a coffee table, mantelpiece or bedside table.

Pair it with a comforting fragrance such as Tonka for cosy evenings, or choose a different candle refill to suit your favourite scent.

Because The Octagon is refillable, you can continue changing the fragrance with the seasons while keeping the same beautiful ceramic vessel.

A Thoughtful Gift for Pottery Lovers

If you're looking for a gift for someone who loves handmade ceramics, beautiful interiors or luxury scented candles, The Octagon makes a particularly special choice.

It's a lovely combination of thoughtful design and everyday practicality.

For someone new to Pott, The Octagon Refillable Candle Starter Pack is a wonderful introduction.

The collection also includes the Octagon candle, the ceramic Pott on its own and a matching Octagon MatchPott, allowing you to choose the perfect gift.

Whether you're shopping for a birthday, Christmas or a new home, The Octagon is a gift that can continue to be enjoyed long after the first candle has finished.
