What Do You Call Figures That Sit on the Edge of a Flower Pot?

The charm of gardens often is found in the miniature statues and signs that adorn the garden bed. There are a wide variety of figurines and statues to choose from -- including statues made of marble, concrete and other stones. Select a small figurine that reflects your personality and personal aesthetic.
  1. What is a Flower Pot Hanger Figurine?

    • A flower pot hanger figurine is a small statue that may have movable or stationary parts and is made to "hang" off or sit on the side of a flower pot. If it has stationary parts, it is a statue designed to rest on the edge of flower pot -- such as a little fairy or gnome. If it has movable parts, it is flexible and can be used to sit on the edge of a flower pot or wall.

    Flower Pot Man

    • The "Flower Pot Man" is a British piece of flower pot art that has movable parts. It is made of miniature terra cotta pots that are stacked together to form the Flower Pot Man's body, legs and arms. Simply place the Flower Pot Man on the edge of a pot. You can move his legs and body to adjust his position on the edge of the pot.

    Porcelain Hangers

    • Purchase a hand-painted porcelain hanger for your flower pot featuring a whimsical animal with arms or paws that can "hang" off the edge of the flower pot. Examples include puppies, turtles and iguanas, among others.

    Gnome Hangers

    • A garden isn't complete without the presence of a magical gnome working away. Purchase a set of gnome flower pot hangers that feature the gnomes hanging from your flower pots with their tools or give the appearance of the gnomes climbing into your flower pots.
