Most pots have been designed as 'containers' for flower arrangements, a prescribed number of red apples, or perhaps a decorously shirred egg. These extraneous objects are needed to complete the design. But since flowers will wilt and apples do get eaten, I prefer completing the unit myself. This feeling—undoubtedly a limitation—has led to my incorporating stopper-accents in many of my designs.
