Crete - Pithari Planter
Gardeners Emporium
Bring a touch of Mediterranean charm to your garden with our handcrafted Cretan clay pots. Made in Thrapsano, Crete’s historic pottery centre, these pots are shaped using traditional techniques passed down for generations. Crafted from locally sourced clay and fired in wood-burning kilns, they boast natural earthy tones and exceptional durability.
Designed for both beauty and function, these pots are perfect for showcasing plants, trees, and flowers in any outdoor setting. Their breathable clay structure promotes healthy root growth, while their sturdy construction withstands diverse weather conditions, from intense sunlight to heavy rain. Whether placed on patios, courtyards, or garden pathways, they blend seamlessly into any landscape, adding rustic elegance and timeless appeal.
Each piece is an eco-friendly creation, crafted with respect for tradition and sustainability. Fired using olive wood, these pots are not only durable but also produced in an environmentally conscious way. Available in a variety of shapes and sizes, they make a striking statement in both classic and contemporary garden designs.
Enhance your outdoor space with the beauty of authentic Cretan pottery, where heritage meets functionality in perfect harmony.Our pots from Crete are frost-resistant, made with top-grade clay, and fired traditionally using olive pips and grape seeds to over 1150C. This means they are designed to last and, as well as being suitable for colder areas, are eminently suitable as water features.
The pots are hand-made employing the same techniques and designs used more than 3000 years ago by the Minoans. The clay has a high mineral content which results in a beautiful light sand colour as well as durability and strength. These clay pots from Crete will age beautifully. They will slowly release mineral salts that add to their individuality. With time moss and algae will colonise the pot. This is part of the natural ageing process for a clay pot. If weathered for many years a beautifully aged patina will evolve.

To clean use mild soapy water and a soft-bristle brush or rag. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasives.
Plants such as bamboo, strelitzia, and other vigorous rooted plants will eventually outgrow and damage the planter if not repotted as they become too large. Failure to do so may void warranty.
