"Buckie Pots" by Katrina Jayne Bass can be found on North Quay in Douglas.

This sculpture takes the form of five seats made from steel and wood and was designed by Katrina Jayne Bass as part of the Quayside Public Art Programme.

There is a nearby information board which carries the following information below a representation of the Douglas Development Partnership multi-coloured logo:
"Buckie Pots"
Artist: Katrina Jayne Bass

These seats were designed by local artist, Katrina Jayne Bass as part of the Quayside Public Art Programme. The sculptural steel framework is based upon the willow frame of a Buckie Pot. Before the days of rubber tyres, these withy 'baskets' were used by Manx Fishermen to prevent their boats from rubbing against the quay walls when tied up. Other such fenders included old corks, coiled rope and bundled nets.

Douglas Development Partnership is grateful to the Borough of Douglas
and the Isle of Man Arts Council for their contribution and support for this project.'
