Description
Italian Terracotta Strawberry Jar- Light Terracotta Finish, Handmade
The Italian Terracotta Strawberry Jar is a beautiful and practical addition to any garden or patio. Handmade in Tuscany, Italy, each jar reflects centuries of skilled craftsmanship. Italian artisans use Siena clay, known for its strength and frost resistance. Indeed, these jars can withstand temperatures as low as -15 degrees centigrade, making them perfect for year-round use.
Strawberry jars have a long and practical history. Originally designed to grow strawberries in limited space, their side pockets allow for multiple plants in one container. Furthermore, this smart design keeps fruit off the soil, reducing rot and pests. Over time, their unique look has also made them a favourite for herbs and succulents.
In Tuscany, terracotta production is a proud tradition. Towns like Impruneta and Siena are famous for their high-quality clay. This clay is rich in minerals and offers outstanding durability. Moreover, because of its strength, artisans can create large planters without fear of cracking. Specifically, this Italian Terracotta Strawberry Jar measures 42cm in diameter and 50cm high, making it a substantial piece in any setting.
Construction Techniques
Each jar is shaped using traditional methods. Craftsmen often use the Colombino technique, forming the jar entirely by hand. This process means no two jars are exactly alike. For a more uniform look, some pieces are made using gypsum moulds. Both techniques require care and attention, and both result in beautiful, functional works of art.
The Italian Terracotta Strawberry Jar works well on patios or balconies, offering structure and greenery in small spaces. Its size and shape make it ideal for a lush crop of strawberries. Thanks to the natural breathability of terracotta, roots stay healthy and well-drained.
Whether used for fruit, herbs, or decorative planting, the Italian Terracotta Strawberry Jar brings traditional Italian craftsmanship into modern gardens. With its blend of form and function, it stands as a unique planter built to last. Choose the terracotta strawberry planter to enjoy a piece of Tuscany in your own outdoor space.
