The Emilia flower pot is a beautiful planter that features a gorgeous decorative edge, reminiscent of the shape and texture of a rope, which lies above the smooth sloping surface of the pot and accompanying dish. Also known as The Roman Rope, this type of pot was originally manufactured in the Italian region of Emilia-Romagna in Tuscany as early as the 19th century. Today, Bergs Potter crafts their own version, still in Tuscany, but now in a small village where each piece is made by hand from premium Italian clay. The quality materials and careful design create a premium planter, one that lets the roots of the plants breathe and thrive while retaining moisture in the soil — the truly optimal environment for your beloved plants. The pot is entirely waterproof thanks to a speciality silicone treatment, making the Emilia ideal for both indoor and outdoor use. The warm colours and rustic finishes of Bergs Potter's handmade pots are certain to give your home a great deal of charm. Using the pots outdoors will further accentuate the patina, giving them even more character and flair. An under saucer is included with the pot.
