A material that transports you but in an instant to Mediterranean, sun-baked climes, terracotta embodies the spirit of summertime, and so we invite it warmly onto window ledges and potting benches alike. Unapologetically aged in appearance and richly worn in texture, the Mala Terracotta Pots have a richer, redder clay colour than the Uma and Nuno pots as well as hand-applied etchings that are mildly tribal in character. Their distinguishing features do not rest there. The rounded shape in fact remains rounded at the base point, so that the pots gently rock rather than sitting firmly. Initially, you may fear they will topple off your shelves or tabletop, but in no time you will trust their centre of gravity is to be trusted entirely. Hand-made in India, you can choose to line them or plant straight into them and though not frost-proof, we like to take them outdoors, accepting that cracks may set in when winter arrives.
