Award-winning potter Manolis Volyrakis and his family hand-throw all of our Mediterranean pots, terracotta pots, amphora pots, and especially our large and extra large terracotta pots. They fire each one in a traditional wood-burning kiln – a rare process today – which creates rich, earthy tones and soft, varied finishes. Because of this, no two pots are ever the same.
