Simona is a romantic type of Parisian pot that has appeared in countless French homes since the peak of its popularity in the 1820s-1860s. This type of pot was first created in Paris’ Latin Quarter, but – alas! – the original artist’s name remains a mystery. Spotting a delightful pot in the midst of a flea market in Montmartre gave the inspiration to create the Simona Pot. Today, it is made in Tuscany for Bergs Potter.
This pot is glazed and each pot includes a drainage hole and matching saucer, which is water-proof. These pots are intended for indoor use. This is a handmade product, variation between pots and what is pictured here is normal.
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.
