The only reason for the low star review is because I feel tricked by the manufacturer and All Modern! It's a nice looking pot, but I paid more for it and I labored over finding it because I wanted one that was clay and NOT plastic! I didn't want to add to environmental plastic pollution. When I drilled an extra water hole in the bottom or it, it was revealed that the clay is molded ONTOP OF PLASTIC MESH which you cannot see when you haven't drilled into it. It was heartbreaking. Why won't any company respect that some of us are going out of our way to AVOID PLASTIC!!?? Company's need to be transparent about their plastic content!!
