The scalloped clay pearling along Helena’s top edge gives this pot a soft and classic look. North of Rome in the Lazio region lies the small town of Di Bolsena, a place once filled with potters and the home of Roberto Rosso, one of Italy’s best potters. Taking inspiration from ancient Greek designs, Rosso created a pot with a distinctive clay pearling top, which was popular throughout the 1800s. Then, quite some years ago, Steffen Berg’s inspiration arose from the original design, and he created the Helena Pot. Today, Tuscan potters are making it again.
Breathing Pots
Bergs Potter’s terracotta pots are made with Italy’s finest clay. The minerals in the clay and its high density give the pots the perfect balance of strength and porosity, allowing the pots to breathe. Terracotta is a porous material, and the evaporation of water through its pores helps maintain moisture levels and airflow, while the clay’s insulating properties help regulate root temperature. This gives your plant the best possible conditions for growth
Bergs Potter
The raw clay pots by Bergs Potter are made of premium Italian clay, fired at extremely high temperatures — and nothing else. No chemicals — just the pure beauty of nature. Each of the raw terracotta pots is inherently natural, ages gracefully, and develops a beautiful patina over time. The saucers are given a special finish that makes them waterproof and prevents mould from developing.
