Terracotta jar - sandblasted

Product Image
Standing proud, this beautifully distinctive terracotta urn is handmade in Vietnam from blended clay and pre-drilled with a drainage hole. A rustic, earthy focal point to bring the sunny spirit of the Mediterranean into the garden.

You could see it as a sculpture, or have trailing plants spilling down the sides - Vinca would be ideal. The pot is also available in a slightly slimmer design if you prefer a more slender silhouette.

The pots are fired and sandblasted by hand - no two pots will be the same - so they could be a mix of any of the shades between the muted terracotta and the dusky grey tones shown in the images.

Traditionally kiln fired at very high temperatures, these durable planters are UV and frost resistant and can stay out in all weathers. As with all clay planters, a few simple measures will help keep them in great condition for years to come.

Care and maintenance

Raise the pot off the ground with pot feet, making sure the drainage hole is clear so it can drain freely. Arranging a few crocks in the bottom of the pot before adding your soil will help stop the hole from clogging.

Protect the pot from frost damage over winter by sealing it with wax, wrapping it in bubble wrap, fleece or newspaper, moving it to an unheated shed or greenhouse, or placing it in a sheltered spot.

If using for perennial plants, repot them when they outgrow the pot to stop roots from cracking the base. To know when it’s time to repot, check underneath the pot for roots starting to emerge from the drainage holes.

Please note: due to the nature of the finishing process, the final colour will vary from pot to pot.
