Italian Terra Cotta Anduze Outdoor Planter Blue
Originally crafted with a “flamed” glaze of green, brown, and yellow, Italian Terra Cotta Anduze Outdoor Planter Blue features heraldic shields and floral garlands with horizontal bands. Since the 17th century, Anduze has been known for producing these iconic outdoor planters, home to generations of skilled potters. Among them, Terre d’Anduze, a family-run workshop, has been handcrafting these outdoor planters since 1980. Available in various vibrant glazes, they add classic elegance to gardens and orangeries across France’s grand châteaux and estates.
This pottery is hand-selected from the most sought-after workshops in Impruneta (a commune in the Florence province of Italy). Produced by the best workshops who only employ master artisans, the level of quality is unparalleled. Each workshop is one that both produces and sells terra cotta inside the Impruneta zone. (Lesser workshops produce their pottery outside of the area, yet maintain an Impruneta showroom for the address.) Our terra cotta is heirloom quality, and it will increase in value over time. The classic designs are timeless, and they will work with every style of architecture. Each handmade piece is traceable to its master artisan, as it is hand-signed and dated.
Terra Cotta Pots
Some people say Terracotta, others prefer terra-cotta or terra cotta—but no matter how you choose to spell it, it all refers to the same timeless material. This earthy, reddish-brown clay has been used for centuries in art, architecture, and design, and its charm remains unmistakable regardless of the variation in spelling.
These beautiful terra cotta outdoor pots are frost-proof down to -20*F. We recommend that you lift the pots off of the ground (via pot feet, wedges, or wooden blocks) so there is at least an inch between the drainage hole and the ground for colder weather. Leave soil in the pots during the winter months, and avoid using saucers to keep the drainage holes clear.
Known throughout the industry as the "Rolls Royce of Pottery," this pottery is a sound investment for any garden or landscape. Transcending quality and style to a landscape, they bring vitality to the plants they house. Seen in prestigious locations such as the New York Botanical Garden, and the Biltmore Estate, this is the best Italian pottery for discerning designers and gardeners.

Care
It is essential that water can drain freely from your garden container’s drainage holes. We recommend a sheet of filter screen over the drainage holes and adding 2-3 inches of crushed stone at the bottom of the container before filling with a potting soil intended for use in containers. In winter, ensure that the container is elevated an inch or more off the ground with pot feet or wedges. Use of saucers outdoors in winter is not recommended.
