Description
Buff Double Rim Chimney Pot 31″
This reclaimed Buff Double Rim chimney pot brings decades of history and weathering to any garden or outdoor space. Made from buff-coloured earthenware clay, it features a distinctive double rim that combines cannon top and straight top styles. This unusual profile adds visual interest and a sculptural presence, whether placed among planting or standing alone.
Chimney pots first appeared in Britain during the medieval period and became common by the Victorian era. Their purpose was to improve draw, guiding smoke up and away from the fireplace below. Over time, their design became more elaborate, reflecting both function and fashion. Decorative elements like the double rim add to the popularity of these buff chimney pots.
Buff earthenware clay is ideally suited for chimney pots. It is breathable, heat-resistant, and easy to shape when wet. Once fired, it becomes tough and durable, perfect for outdoor use. It also weathers beautifully, gaining depth and texture as the years pass.
This Buff Double Rim chimney pot has seen long exposure to the elements. Cracks now run around the main body, and chips mark both the base and rim. Steel cabling wraps the chimney pot, helping to maintain structural stability. Due to this wear, it is no longer suitable for rooftop use.

However, its aged appearance brings strong rustic character to a garden setting. Filled with a trailing plant or positioned among foliage, it makes an eye-catching feature.
