What Is a Terracotta Planter?
A terracotta planter is a vessel made from unglazed, porous clay fired at high temperatures. Authentic Italian terracotta from Impruneta is known for its exceptional frost resistance due to the region's unique mineral-rich clay, making it ideal for outdoor planters that face seasonal temperature swings.
