Antique Mediterranean Urn Isla

Description

Antique Mediterranean Urn Isla

The Antique Mediterranean Urn Isla boasts an exceptional amount of aged character, featuring a rich texture and appealing intrigue. Truly one-of-a-kind, this urn serves as both a beautiful standalone piece and an excellent vessel for plants. With over a hundred years of history, the urn’s surface is textured, pitted, and flaky, with remnants of previous white paintwork. Originally designed to hold liquids, traces of olive oil are often found within these pots.

In the garden, they must be protected from static freezing water/soil if planted. In the wintertime, if you leave them outdoors, simply turn them upside down so that they cannot fill with water which will freeze (if you make a drainage hole to the bottom there is no need to do this).

If you establish a plant inside these pots simply use a plastic pot within which will allow for the expansion and contraction of frozen soil and water. If you do fill the pot with soil we would recommend that you do not allow the pot and contents to freeze over winter. We recommend protecting from frost during the winter months if used in the garden.

Please expect a vintage imperfect condition. Each pot is handmade and features fabulous rustic earthy tones. Delightfully imperfect, these pots are soft, smooth and tactile to the touch. These distinctive ancient pots have imperfections aplenty, so please embrace their individuality and beauty and expect historic chips, cracks and repairs.
