With roots in the northeast Italian Province of Vicenza in a city known as Malo, the Olive Jar brings the
100% natural elements of true Terracotta to the market.
Hand made using hand finishing techniques that are so rarely found in today's "mass producing" societies, these planters are a story told by hands of tradition, culture and artistry.
About the Material
The material used in the Olive Jar conveys the warmth of the Italian Tuscany tradition. Creating a harmonic and natural balance for plants, terracotta is well known to be UV and frost resistant and provide efficient moisture and mineral transpiration. Its special porosity also protects against the lowest winter temperatures. What can be healthier for your plants than living in an eco-safe container.
About the Glaze
The Olive Jar has a specialized glaze that is lab certified containing zero percent lead. Their glazing process also does not release any lead after firing which is unique for an entirely handmade and hand finished natural product.

About Italian Designed Pottery
The
art of handcrafting fine pottery has permeated Italian culture for hundreds of years. In fact, in the early 14th century, handcrafted and painted pottery was valued so greatly that it was used to pay off large tax debts by townsfolk, and
kept as trophies by warriors of Crusades in their victories. It was during the Renaissance period where artists realized the pottery's true artistic potential by creating intricate designs which today, are showcased in
museums around the world.
The unmistakable originality and authenticity of the planters will be a topic of discussion for years to come.
