Fraska Cretan Terracotta Pot
The Terracotta Pot Company Fraska pot is hand thrown and frost-resistant ensuring its longevity and superior quality. Each pot boasts an authentic style, colour, and texture, making them truly one-of-a-kind.
All of our terracotta pots have been crafted on the island of Crete using the finest local clay, employing age-old techniques and styles that have remained unaltered for almost 4000 years.
Each pot is meticulously shaped on a potter's wheel, followed by kiln firing and a 24-hour 'quenching' process with water. These well-established practices grant the pots exceptional durability, making them frost-resistant down to -20°C and heat-resistant up to 50°C. A finishing touch involves a clear silicone spray, creating a water-repellent barrier to prevent moisture from infiltrating and damaging the pot.
Please note; the 50-year frost-proof warranty does not cover water features.
Due to their handmade nature, all measurements are approximate and may vary slightly.
Winter Care:
- Freezing water will expand and can cause serious damage to the pot, so it must be fully drained before winter.
- The pot should be covered to prevent rain or snow from entering the pot and freezing; any insulated and waterproof sheet would be suitable.
- If the pot is being used as a water feature, it should be lifted off the reservoir.
