Bergs Potter Copenhagen Trio Pot Set | Grey Terracotta

The Bergs Potter Copenhagen Trio Pot Set is a gift-boxed set of three matching 10cm Grey terracotta plant pots with saucers. Known in Danish as the Københavner Pot – and sometimes called the Castle Pot – this is one of Bergs Potter's most recognisable designs.

Inspired by pottery made for Fredensborg Palace in 1860, the Copenhagen pot combines Danish design heritage with traditional Italian craftsmanship. The raw terracotta versions are handmade near Lucca in Tuscany, Italy, with the Grey finish giving the classic scalloped silhouette a cooler, more contemporary look.

With three identical pots and matching saucers presented together in a Bergs Potter gift box, the set works beautifully for kitchen herbs, small houseplants, cuttings or a coordinated windowsill display. It also makes a thoughtful gift for a plant lover or anyone who appreciates Scandinavian design and beautifully made objects for the home.

What Is the Bergs Potter Copenhagen Pot?

The Copenhagen – or Københavner – is one of Bergs Potter's classic designs. Its story began when Steffen Berg discovered old clay pots at a former nursery and created his own interpretation of a historic design originally made for the Danish royal residence at Fredensborg.

The distinctive scalloped rim and balanced proportions have made the Copenhagen one of the brand's most enduring pot designs.

Three 10cm Pots for Herbs and Small Houseplants

Each pot measures approximately 10cm in diameter × 9cm high and comes with its own matching saucer.

The size works particularly well for small houseplants, culinary herbs, rooted cuttings and young plants. If you prefer to keep a plant inside its nursery pot rather than planting directly, a 10cm Copenhagen is generally best suited to nursery pots around 8–9cm diameter.

For a kitchen windowsill, try using the trio for three different culinary herbs. Browse our herb seeds for basil, thyme, rosemary, parsley and more.

Why Choose Terracotta for Plants?

Raw terracotta is naturally porous, allowing air and moisture to move through the clay rather than trapping moisture around the roots.

Each pot has a drainage hole and matching saucer, so you can plant directly into the Copenhagen pot using an appropriate compost. Terracotta tends to dry more quickly than plastic or glazed ceramic, so always water according to the needs of the particular plant.

A Scandinavian Plant Gift

This trio works particularly well as a gift because the three pots arrive together in a Bergs Potter presentation box, giving the recipient a ready-made little collection rather than a single empty plant pot.

They can turn the set into a windowsill herb garden, use the pots for a group of miniature houseplants or create a small propagation display. The restrained Grey terracotta is especially easy to combine with modern, minimal and more traditional interiors.

Care & Styling

You can plant directly into each pot using an appropriate free-draining compost, or place a suitably sized nursery pot inside.

Water according to the needs of the plant and allow excess water to drain away rather than leaving the base of the pot permanently standing in water.

Raw terracotta naturally changes appearance with use. Slight differences in colour and texture, mineral marks and the gradual development of a natural patina are part of the material's character.

Because terracotta is porous, moisture can occasionally transfer through the pot or saucer, so protect particularly delicate furniture and shelving underneath.

Why We Love It

The Grey Copenhagen has all the character of the classic terracotta pot without feeling rustic. The cool smoky tone, scalloped edge and beautifully balanced proportions make even the smallest houseplant or pot of herbs feel much more considered.

And three together look considerably better than one.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Copenhagen and Københavner?

They are names for the same Bergs Potter design. Københavner is the Danish name, Copenhagen is commonly used internationally, and the design is also known as the Castle Pot because of its royal Danish origins.

Are Bergs Potter Copenhagen pots made in Denmark?

The Copenhagen is a Danish design, but the raw terracotta pots are handmade near Lucca in Tuscany, Italy using traditional ceramic techniques.

What plants fit a 10cm Copenhagen pot?

They are ideal for small houseplants, herbs, rooted cuttings and young plants. If keeping the plant in its existing nursery pot, look for one around 8–9cm diameter.

What is the difference between Grey and Rosa Copenhagen pots?

The shape and construction are the same. Grey has a cooler, smoky finish, while Rosa is the warmer traditional terracotta tone. The best choice is simply whichever works better with your plants and interior.

Is the Copenhagen Trio suitable as a gift?

Yes. The set contains three matching Copenhagen pots and saucers presented together in a Bergs Potter gift box, making it particularly suitable for birthdays, housewarmings and Christmas gifts for people who enjoy houseplants, herbs or Scandinavian interiors.
