Decorated Terracotta Pots
Originally terracotta pots and urns were functional items and lacked decoration. The pots were used predominantly for nursery planting or plant transportation and the urns to store oils, wine, and fruits such as olives. As terracotta became used more in a garden setting the artisan potteries began adding decoration, either a generic fruit and leaf swag with a boss, their own pottery design or a bespoke piece with family emblems.
Today our range of decorated terracotta pots offers plenty of choices, from simple foglie (leaf) bands on the pot shoulder to the highly ornate Conca Duchessa, skillfully produced by the Master Potter. A mix of plain and decorated planters can make for stunning displays, especially as the terracotta ages.
Conca Festone
Typical classically styled Tuscan pot with attractive fruit and foliage decoration. Ideal for formal displays and looks super in Mediterranean and Italian style gardens. A wide selection of sizes makes this an ideal pot for all planting applications. Some sizes are available with natural weathering so please ask as we know for many that is a preference!
Conca Limoni
A straight sided vase with a slight flair, decorated with a lemon swag and ideal for citrus trees.
Vaso Firenze Festonato
It is similar in design to the Conca Festone but with straighter sides and a rolled rim and a scratched finish that gives it a more rustic look. Decorated with an attractive shield and swag design, this is a good solid pot for a tree or large shrub.
