Price History
Description
Traditional urn-shaped pot made from clay with a raw natural finish. We love the aged look of this urn, handmade in Vietnam using traditional artisan coiling techniques. There's a hole in the base for drainage, for outdoor use. Not frostproof.
Our Stylist Says
The Nkuku Affiti Clay Urn is a versatile piece that adds a touch of rustic charm to various settings. I love its muted antique grey finish, which works particularly well in both contemporary and traditional interiors, especially those with neutral or earthy palettes. It's perfect for creating a relaxed outdoor aesthetic, whether placed on a patio, balcony, or garden bed, and can be styled with a mixture of trailing or upright plants for visual interest. Practical tips include pairing it with other natural materials like wood or stone for a layered look, and ensuring the plants chosen suit the size of the urn for a balanced display. This urn’s understated elegance makes it a reliable choice for adding texture and character to outdoor spaces.

About John Lewis
A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
