frequently asked

how big is it?

280mm tall and 180mm across, including the base. it's the taller of the two artichokes on a base — there's also a 200mm mini if you want to group them.

what colour is it really?

a soft, muted grey with a subtly textured surface. it reads as warm rather than cold, and sits comfortably against cream, stone and off-white walls.

where does it look best?

consoles, shelves and side tables — the base gives it height, so it works where you need something to lift a flat arrangement. pair it with the mini version and a low bowl for a layered group.

will mine look exactly like the photograph?

very close, but not identical where a glaze is reactive, speckled or graduated — those behave differently in every firing, which is the point of them. screen colours vary a little too. the dimensions on this page are accurate, so it's worth measuring your shelf before you order.

can i use it for food?

no. these are decorative pieces intended for light functional use — keys, jewellery, dried stems, that sort of thing. they aren't food safe, and they aren't dishwasher or microwave safe.

how do i clean it?

a soft, slightly damp cloth, then dry it off. no abrasives, no bleach, no dishwasher — all three will dull the glaze permanently.

how is it packed for delivery?

wrapped and packed to travel. if it does arrive damaged, photograph the piece and the packaging and email home@fredahome.co.uk within 48 hours — we'll replace or refund it and cover the postage.

can i return it if it doesn't suit the room?

yes — within 14 days of delivery, unused and in its original packaging. return postage is yours unless the piece was damaged or faulty. see make a return.

how quickly will it arrive?

orders are packed and dispatched within 2–3 working days. uk delivery is free on orders of £40 or more and £3.95 under, or choose express at checkout for £5.95.
