“Millerighe” striped ball shaped pot

“Millerighe” striped ball shaped pot. The timeless design of stripes embellishes classic or modern gardens. This article is part of a large collection of vases, boxes and cache-pots with more or less small stripes: a motif that has been repeated since the time of the ancient Greeks. The ‘evergreen‘ stripe motif, which has known various youths over the centuries, in fashion and objects, is often found in rounded or squared shapes, with thin stripes known as ‘millerighe‘ or with large, wide stripes, hollowed out or in relief. Handmade from Impruneta clay resistant to frost at -30 °C. Terracotta’s excellent breathability, thermoregulation and slight release of watering moisture give health to the roots of planted plants. Over time, it acquires a beautiful surface appearance where lichens and mosses can settle.
