Mesh is a ceramic plant pot whose glaze began with a window screen that had to be replaced after a blue jay flew directly into it, which is not how we usually find inspiration but is exactly how this one happened. No two screens warp the same way, which suits the glaze fine.Someone was standing there holding the damaged screen, about to throw it out, and noticed the texture instead: the woven grid, slightly warped from the impact, catching light in a way that seemed worth keeping. The bird, we should clarify, was completely fine. The screen did not survive. The texture did. There is no drainage hole, so plant a succulent or use it as a cover pot for a nursery container you can lift out to water. Mesh is proof that we will take a good surface wherever it turns up, including off the thing we were about to put in the recycling.
