Uks Finest Collection of Mediterranean Terracotta Pots and Urns - perfect for your garden design

All of our pots and urns are hand-thrown by the award winning potter Manolis Volyrakis and his family team.  They are then fired in a traditional wood-burning kiln (rather than the more prevalent gas-fired kilns now found in Crete) in order to give our pots their attractive varying soft shades of tan that changes with the light.  All our pots are individually unique.
