Italian Terracotta Bird Pot By Richard Hartlage
Landscape designer, horticulturalist, gardener and bird lover, Richard Hartlage brought together all of his passions in this series for The American Collection. As a lover of joyful design, Richard incorporated the beautiful things that inspire him in the garden. Traditional lines give the containers strong, functional forms. The birds, bees, flowers and trees create a modern and playful motif. Cheerfully warbling barn swallows swoop around the Bird Pot, and a stately California quail perches on the wood grain patterned rim. Honeybees buzz around the Bee Pot grounded by honeycomb. Trilliums delicately encircle the Hanging Flower Pot. The Tree Pot is ringed by a chain of native dogwood flowers, and white oak acorns line the base where a sweet songbird, the titmouse, rests.
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 terracotta inside the Impruneta zone. (Lesser workshops produce their pottery outside of the area, yet maintain an Impruneta showroom for the address.) Our terracotta 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.
Terracotta Pots
These beautiful terracotta 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.
