COTTO ACCESSORIES

A collection of handmade garden and home accessories made of Tuscan terracotta. The flower pots, vases and washbasins are extremely durable and frost-resistant, thanks to the use of Galestro clay, which is one of the highest quality in the world.

The elements are made using the Colombino technique (exclusively handmade and decorated, each piece is original) with the exception of a few specific pots, where the original molds are being used. The range includes flower pots, vases and amphorae of various shapes, sizes and decorations, chimney caps, outdoor washbasins and wine bottle racks.

Wine amphorae are made exclusively by hand using traditional "Based Work" technique: the amphora stands still while the craftsman works around and adds new clay. The whole process takes three months, including long drying and slow firing. The uniqueness of the local clay makes the amphorae even more exceptional, thanks to the abundant presence of "galestro" clay. The natural content of salts and other minerals in terracotta ensures its microporosity, which allows the wine to breathe properly. All these properties, combined with the antioxidant and antibacterial effect and excellent thermal insulation properties, make the terracotta amphora an ideal tool for producing great natural wines.
