I’ve been struggling with this issue as well. Ikea has some great simple pots with clean lines that are are inexpensive as well. I’ve used many of the plain white glazed pots and then filled in with retro bits as I find them.

Sorry this comment isn’t really about the plants- the pbns are great, I love the dachshund ones because they match my dogs. I saw a Declaration piece this weekend here in Alabama at a flea mall- it was a dresser where one side had been converted to a tv cabinet… no price but I wanted it bad! How about some chipped Fiestaware pitchers for the small plants- I see those all the time for cheap!

Upon the occasion of my mid-century birth my parents were given a planter. Mom always kept a pothos or devil’s ivy in it and always told me that that was the same kind of plant that was in the planter when she received it.
