Elegant and classic, this generously proportioned terracotta pot is a perfect blank canvas for bedding or bulbs.
A layered bulb lasagne will lay the groundwork for a spectacular burst of spring colour. Or pack in vibrant and varied bedding for an impactful focal point you can change with the seasons. The tapered shape makes it easy to lift spent plants for a fresh start each season.
Each pot is hand thrown in Turkey by Argun and his son, 3rd and 4th generation potters from the Izmir region on the Aegean coast. Made using local clay, it will age to a wonderful patina as the salts slowly leach to the surface.
Though fired to 1080°C to make them as frost resistant as possible, we would always suggest using pot feet and moving pots to a sheltered spot in the colder months. Supplied with drainage hole.
Please note: any white specks in the terracotta are lime granules, which occur naturally in raw Turkish clay. Occasionally when pots are fired, the clay around them can split out a little, but this does not compromise the pot in any way. The presence of lime helps to bind the clay and ultimately makes for a stronger pot.
