These terracotta orchid pots were inspired by a visit to an orchid collector. She had planted up lots of hand thrown terracotta pots of all shapes and sizes with holes in them to let air circulate around the plants’ roots.
We’ve made three versatile shapes - a vase, bowl and pot. You can use them singly or group them together to create a unique orchid display of your own, either freestanding or hanging with chain or twine. If you'd like to display all three shapes, we have a special offer for the set of three.
The raised base prevents roots sitting in water and a clear glaze inside seals the base and makes it watertight so you can safely use it indoors. It can also be used outdoors or in conservatories and greenhouses.
The pot is hand thrown in Turkey using local clay and will develop an attractive patina as the salts slowly leach to the surface. Each is fired to 1080°C to make it as frost resistant as possible, but if using outdoors we’d suggest moving it to a sheltered spot in the colder months.
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 won’t compromise the pot’s strength. Lime helps bind the clay and ultimately makes for a stronger pot. As the pots are hand thrown, the size is approximate.
