The Messina large terracotta urn planter is frostproof and full of character, with natural surface variations that age beautifully outdoors.

Design Features

Our Messina Terracotta Planter combines the heritage of French renaissance design with Italian quality craftsmanship. It’s a refined take on the classic Anduze style, featuring an elegant, tapered silhouette with Italian festoon garland detailing. Hand made the traditional way, and designed for both functionality and beauty, the Messina makes a striking addition to your garden. The perfect pairing for small tress and floral planting displays.  

Materials

This planter combines traditional craftsmanship with modern durability. The advanced firing techniques used to bake the clay ensure a high-quality, strong product that endures the unpredictable British weather. This ensures resilience in colder climates, making it suitable for year-round outdoor use. The porous structure of the terracotta allows for natural air and moisture flow, promoting healthy plant growth while preventing water retention. Each piece is uniquely crafted, with subtle variations in texture and tone that highlight its artisanal origins.

Hand Made in Italy

Designed for year-round outdoor use, the Messina Terracotta Pot is naturally anti-freeze certified, ensuring durability in colder climates. To maintain its finish, we recommend using pot feet to aid drainage and prevent moisture buildup. In winter, wrapping the pot in horticultural fleece can provide extra insulation. For optimal plant health, add a layer of gravel or broken terracotta at the base before planting. Avoid placing the pot directly on bare soil to prevent water retention.
