Terracotta Jar with 8 Side Pockets | Bettini Deruta Artisan Craft
The Bettini Deruta Terracotta Jar with 8 Side Pockets is a fully handcrafted piece made in our workshop in Deruta, where the tradition of terracotta has been passed down for generations. Its eight lateral openings, together with the central top opening, are designed to host flowers, succulents, strawberries, and small decorative arrangements. Each pocket allows the plant to grow naturally, creating a unique and scenic multi-level composition.
Natural, breathable terracotta
Made from natural light terracotta, a porous and breathable material, this jar promotes proper soil aeration and helps maintain balanced moisture levels, supporting healthy plant growth. Subtle variations in texture and color highlight the handcrafted nature of each piece.
Frost-resistant and ideal for outdoor use
The traditional high-temperature firing process ensures excellent resistance to frost, sunlight, and sudden temperature changes. This makes the jar suitable for outdoor use throughout the year, maintaining stability even when fully planted.
Functional design with drainage hole
The base of the jar includes a drainage hole that prevents water stagnation and protects the roots, creating an ideal environment for all types of plants. The arrangement of the pockets allows for harmonious vertical compositions with strong visual impact.
Usage tips
- For strawberries: plant one seedling per pocket for even growth and staggered harvests.
- For succulents: choose compact varieties that enhance the side openings.
- For flowers: combine trailing and bushy species for a full decorative effect.
- For maintenance: add a layer of gravel at the bottom to improve drainage.
- For outdoor use: place the jar on a slightly raised base during the coldest months.
