About the Urns
All the urns derive superior strength and quality due to being hand made from high firing terracotta clay that will withstand hardy weather conditions. Please read notes below. Due to the hand making methods, the dimensions quoted are an approximate guide and may vary slightly. All the pots have drainage holes.

Glaze Colours
The urns are available in four glazed colours: blue, green, cream, yellow and black. Alternatively, they are available in natural terracotta, without a glaze finish. All the glazes have been developed and perfected at the pottery. The urns are fired for up to 28 hours. Due to the traditional firing techniques, urns selected from different batches may have a marginal difference of colour.

Delivery
Carriage by arrangement and will be charged at cost.

Looking after your urn
The urns derive superior strength and quality from being hand made and fired to a high temperature. High firing terracotta clay is strong and durable and will withstand hardy weather conditions. The glaze finishes are sometimes vulnerable to weathering over a period of years in extreme conditions. In order to preserve the quality of the glaze finish in such conditions, generously wrap the exterior with “bubble wrap” or a blanket and then polythene. Alternatively, move the urns to a sheltered area.

Due to the large size of the urns, it is important that they are always planted with an adequate amount of drainage material such as small stones, rocks, old broken pots, or polystyrene blocks.

A rough guide is one third drainage material to two thirds soil/compost mix.

The urn should then be raised off the ground to ensure good ventilation and to allow excess water to drain away.

For interior settings, plastic containers are often used to hold the plantings which can then be placed into the urns. This offers great flexibility and ease for watering.
