| A POTTED HISTORY |
On our first visit to Italy we searched for large pots for our garden. Armed with a few Italian lessons, on a second trip we found a pottery willing to make pots to our designs. Friends liked them, the kitchen table became a desk and Italian Terrace began. Juggling between farming, family and pots we had to move into our dilapidated barn and we gradually improved the garden for visitors. Now fifteen years on, with eleven Chelsea Flower Show Awards and worldwide exports, we have a new kitchen table. Here in Suffolk we have a showroom and large display area with lots of pots, plaques and other articles and you are very welcome to visit, to view or to buy and collect. |
| WHY ITALIAN TERRACE POTS ARE SO SPECIAL |
Our pots take about four weeks to make. We blend the best Italian clay to achieve a pale colour and a special finish is added to create the weathered texture. We make by hand, using traditional press moulded techniques. Gentle air drying and firing at high temperatures in our modern gas kilns ensures strength and durability in the winter months. We have created designs and shapes that suit our classical and contemporary architecture, with the growth of plants in mind. |
