We have named this beautiful pot Vaso Smerlo — the Scallop Vase, for its unique wavy pattern and scallop edge. Handmade exclusively for us in Impruneta, Tuscany, Vaso Smerlo is a 70 cm–wide terracotta pot added to our Chelsea Collection in 2025. Crafted from traditional Galestro clay and frostproof for year-round use, its highly unusual, elegant pattern makes it especially striking with spring bulbs such as tulips and narcissus. Perfect for a delicate arrangement of spring and summer flowers, Vaso Smerlo brings refined Italian craftsmanship and timeless charm to any garden or terrace.
Each pot is expertly hand made and fired to a high temperature, producing a strong breathable terracotta of superb quality, this helps promote a healthy root aeration while resisting frost damage. The natural, rich Galestro terracotta develops a graceful patina over time, enhancing the aesthetic of plantings without compromising structural integrity. With meticulous quality control and a wide range of sizes and designs, our pots offer reliable performance and timeless elegance for both professional landscapers and home gardeners worldwide.
At Vaso Toscano, we pride ourselves on taking care of our clients at every step, from order and despatch to placement. For our oversees clients our frostproof Galestro terracotta pots are carefully packed and shipped with tracking and insured delivery, our team will coordinate delivery times to make it as convenient for you as possible.
Ethically, our pots are handmade in Tuscany using sustainably sourced local clay and the traditional methods of hand moulding the clay. This method has not changed in our pottery since 1660, the date of when the workshop started. Impruneta was the home of many potteries because of the location of the Galestro clay, sadly there are only a handful of potteries left now, so we feel its important to support this traditional craft so it can continue into the future. Your beautiful terracotta pot from Vaso Toscano connects you to that Tuscan heritage, each pot is a small, continuing chapter in the story of the historic Italian craft.
