At Artistica we feature
a large assortment of
completely hand made and
free hand painted
cachepots and planters.
You will know that our
cachepots were made
freehand, because in the
inside you can feel the
grooves left by the hand
thrown process and in
most of them you can
slip you fingers under
the rim as well, a clear
indication that no molds
were used.
All cachepots/planters
are masterfully and
painted in Deruta-Umbria
and Tuscany. |

Artistica's cachepots are made with clay from Umbria,
the finest terracotta available in the world.
All pots are fully glazed inside out and following
simple procedure, these Italian terra cotta pots can be
left outdoors year-round full of soil even in frosting
areas.
For outdoor use in frosting area, it is necessary that
your pots have good drainage.
Although Artistica's
cachepots are suitable
for indoor and outdoor
use, they are shipped
without any drainage
hole as they are made to
be used as container to
the plastic pots
supplied with any plant.
Should you like to plant
directly into the
cachepot, we would
gladly make the drainage
hole on the product
prior to shipping.
Pots must be elevated about an inch off the ground. You
can simply place pieces of wood or bricks under the
pots. Make sure the drainage holes do not become blocked
and the soil is not too compact so that water can run
out.
Remember that in winter time it is better to leave soil
in the pots than to leave the pots empty. |
