Description

This generously sized hand-thrown pot is made to be both beautiful and dependable. The broad shape and low centre of gravity give it the scale and strength to hold a substantial shrub, with roots having plenty of space to thrive. Lifted on pot feet, it should last you a lifetime and only look better as it ages.

It's ideally suited to hydrangeas, which look lovely spilling billows of flowers over the rim. With a spring feed, a spot in dappled sun and a steady supply of water, they’ll give you months of glorious colour carrying right through to autumn.

You could also fill it with herbaceous perennials - creating pockets of accent colour around the garden - or an olive to add a focal point at the end of a path. Supplied with drainage holes.

About these hand-thrown Cretan terracotta pots

We’ve produced these pots in collaboration with the Terracotta Pot Company, creating bespoke designs to bring out the best in some of our most-loved plants. All are hand-thrown on a potter’s wheel - even the very largest. The clay itself is chosen for its mineral content, giving pots the strength and durability to withstand life outdoors.

Larger pots take several days to complete, as the potter builds the walls in stages, letting each layer rest before adding height. Once shaped, pots are dried and fired for 14 hours at very high temperatures, then cooled for the same again. Finally they’re quenched outdoors, brim-full of water, to lock in their frost resistance.

Looking after your pot

Before planting, soak the pot in water overnight. This allows the terracotta to absorb moisture so it won’t draw it away from the compost (and your plants) at that critical early stage. Raise the pot on terracotta feet to help with drainage and protect against frost. Over time, moss, algae and mineral deposits may appear, especially if kept in shade. These natural changes enrich the surface, giving the pot a more characterful, aged look. If you prefer it pristine, give it a scrub with a stiff brush and water - never detergent.

50-Year Frost Proof Guarantee

This pot is eligible for a 50-year frost-proof guarantee, only valid if the pot is stood on pot feet. Buy a set of matching feet and register your pot on the Terrac otta Pot Company website to qualify.
