A large vintage Italian terracotta plant pot dating from the mid-20th century, with a beautifully rustic rounded form and an authentic earthy red patina. Hand crafted and completely unglazed, both inside and out, the raw terracotta remains visible across the surface, giving the vessel a wonderfully tactile, timeworn character.
The generous rounded body is finished with a softly defined lip around the opening and a drainage hole at the base, reflecting its original practical purpose as a plant pot. Years of use, exposure and the passing of time have created the individual surface variation and rich red colouring that make this piece particularly distinctive.
At 34 cm wide, it makes an impressive planter for an indoor or outdoor setting, bringing understated Southern Italian farmhouse character to a terrace, garden, entranceway or interior. A matching plant pot is also available, making the pair especially effective when displayed together.
