Petit Pottery

Petit Pottery is a ceramic and craft studio based in Melbourne Australia. The work ranges from mini handmade vases to planters w/real cacti to various other unique creations. Each piece is one of a kind, check out the collection here.

Petit Pottery was established as an outlet for Vanessa to create and share her handmade items. Vanessa has a long history in arts and crafts where painting and ceramics have been a huge part of her life. From a very young age, she was always drawing which eventually led to her completing a degree in Fine Arts and in Environmental Design Architecture. She has a fascination for small things and the skill and patience it requires to make each beautiful piece.

Making miniature pottery began with little planters. She wants to provide people who love plants but sadly have black thumbs, a low maintenance way to take care of their own plants easily. The size of these planters with their tiny cacti are extremely irresistible and will cause even the most experienced planters to eek with joy 😊

The advantage of having mini cacti is the ability to easily manage caring for them, you can transport them with little effort, keep them at home or take them to work and collect a few to create a mini cacti display! If you are apprehensive to take that step into caring for a real mini cacti, our miniature vases with dried mini floral stems is the next best option for you.

Thank you for visiting!
