Abstract: A device for suspending a vessel from its rim includes a vertically oriented member having at least one notch to receive a section of the rim, the geometry of the notch being characterized in that if a user of the device inserts the rim section and lets go of the vessel it will remain suspended in a desired orientation. Although particularly suited to suspending clay pots of the type used horticulturally, the device is equally suited to any type of rimmed receptacle. A system of holes and pegs may additionally be provided to support the bottom of the vessel. Preferably the notch is formed with a straight blade which creates opposing surfaces that catch on upper/inner and lower/outer points along the rim, respectively.
