Hi, It is wonderful to hear that you are happy with the quality and style of the item! Thank you for your feedback regarding where this pot is made. We try to source from the UK wherever possible. For example, we stock a variety of cushions, prints and chairs that are all produced in the UK. However, to ensure we offer customers the widest range of quality, and unique items, at a variety of different price points, we source our stock from a range of locations. For this particular item, it was selected because of the beautiful dripping gold paint being applied by hand to each individual pot. We felt that this finishing touch resulted in a quality, yet affordable item, which we hope our customers love. Although, we really appreciate your feedback regarding this and we will certainly keep this in mind when we are selecting future items. Many Thanks, Sarah
