The Pot Pop Top Planter Pot (Pink Eyes) is a limited-edition artwork released in 2021 by Spanish artist Javier Calleja, in collaboration with Case Studyo, an art and design studio based in Ghent, Belgium. Case Studyo specializes in producing limited-edition pieces in collaboration with contemporary artists, merging art with functionality.
This piece reflects Calleja’s distinctive style, featuring childlike figures with large, expressive eyes that convey both innocence and subtle irony. The planter’s design stands out for its simple yet striking form, crafted from white ceramic with a clean, minimalist finish. Its pink glass eyes are the most defining feature, adding depth and character to the piece.
The artwork is part of the "POT POP TOP" series, a collection of planters and vases designed by Calleja with variations in eye colors and other details. This series illustrates how the artist blurs the lines between sculpture, design, and functional art, creating objects that can be appreciated both in galleries and private spaces.
The Pot Pop Top Planter Pot (Pink Eyes) was produced in a very limited edition of 100 pieces, making it highly sought after by collectors of contemporary art. Its exclusivity, combined with Calleja’s growing recognition, has increased its value in the secondary market, solidifying it as one of the most iconic creations within his planter series. Beyond its decorative function, this piece encapsulates Calleja’s playful yet conceptual approach, which continues to captivate the art world.
