Description

Small Roll Top Chimney Pot Terracotta 12″

This reclaimed small roll terracotta top chimney pot offers both practical use and visual interest. Made from traditional red earthenware clay, it stands 12 inches tall with an 8½-inch diameter. Its classic rolled rim gives a simple, recognisable silhouette, once commonly seen on rooftops across the UK.

Chimney pots have been used since the 13th century to improve airflow and reduce smoke in homes. By the Victorian era, they had become widespread, often made in distinctive regional styles, with a roll top chimney pot being a favourite. Their purpose was functional, but their forms added character to rooftops and streetscapes alike.

Red earthenware clay is ideal for chimney pots. It handles high heat, resists weather, and offers excellent breathability. When fired, it hardens into a robust, long-lasting material. Over time, it weathers naturally, developing tones and textures that modern materials can’t replicate.

This small roll top chimney pot shows signs of its age. Minor scratches and small chips mark the base and rim, but they don’t affect its structure. It remains suitable for rooftop use. However, it also works beautifully in gardens or patios. Its compact size allows for flexible placement, either as a planter or a decorative accent.

Versatile and Vibrant

The vibrant terracotta colour stands out against greenery, creating contrast and drawing the eye. Trailing plants look particularly striking when planted inside, softening the structure while highlighting its form. The gentle weathering adds rustic appeal, helping it blend naturally with its surroundings.

Reclaimed materials like this small roll top chimney pot offer real benefits. They reduce landfill waste and extend the life of already-made products. They also promote sustainable renovation and preserve traditional craftsmanship.

This small roll top chimney pot fits neatly into both contemporary and natural outdoor settings. Whether used for planting or decoration, it adds texture and interest. With its soft tones and aged surface, this small roll top chimney pot helps create a space that feels well-rooted and full of character.
