This elegant tapered vase-style pot is best for annuals, though you could also use it for perennials that don’t need to develop a large root ball. Great for pelargoniums, geraniums or any bedding plants that will tumble down over the sides.

Try seasonal planting to prolong interest into the colder months. Swap out spent summer blooms for fresh winter bedding and enjoy some cheery late season colour.

The pots are 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, they 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 moving empty or full bowls into a sheltered spot in the colder months.

To keep your pot in tip-top condition please read our ‘Assembly and care instructions’ PDF for more detailed advice.

Any white specks in the terracotta are lime granules, which occur naturally in raw Turkish clay. Sometimes when a pot is fired, the clay around them can split out a little, but this won't compromise the strength of the finished product. The lime helps to bind the clay and ultimately makes for a stronger pot.

The narrow opening and pre-drilled drainage hole will help guard against waterlogging; you can also enhance drainage and protect the pot from frost with a set of pot feet (sold separately).

Please note: as these pots are thrown by hand, they will vary slightly in height and diameter from batch to batch, so the measurements below are approximate.
