Terracotta garden pots and planters are always a good idea for indoor and outdoor gardening (just be sure to bring them indoors in the winter, unless they’re marked “frost-proof”). Here are 1o of our favorites in various sizes and shades:
Above: A six-sided Terracotta Herb Pot handmade in France by Poterie Redan is €16 from Manufactum. Nestle seven together to create a honeycomb-like cluster. Above: Hand-crafted in Italy, the Bergs Palace Pot and Saucer is inspired by a similar design at Denmark’s Fredensborg Palace around 1860; $18 to $128 at Terrain. Above: Connecticut potter Guy Wolff designed the Hartford Pot for terracotta importer Seibert & Rice. Made by hand in Impruneta, Italy, the pot is 16 inches tall, frost-proof, and $500 at Seibert & Rice. Above: Designed by Bloomist and made from local terra-cotta clay by artisans at the Atuto Group in Honduras, the Studio Planter comes in a greenwash (pictured) and a whitewash; $20 to $32 at Bloomist. (Metal stands sold separately.) Above: Handmade by Goicoechea Poterie in France using Basque clay from Navarre, a Cuvier Contemporain planter is available in six sizes at prices ranging from €41 to €335 depending on size. Above: The Lali Mini Terracotta Pots are perfect for small succulents and other tiny plants; $£7 at Rowen & Wren.
