ITALIAN TERRACOTTA POTS
Lynette Proler, a division of Proler Garden Antiques, specializes in antique over-sized and exceedingly rare, Italian Impruneta terracotta oil storage jars and lemon pots. If you can't find the size you want, our artisans in Italy can custom hand-make Impruneta pots in Italy using ancient techniques. Each pot is molded by hand, in a slow and painstaking process. Each work of art is created to faithfully reproduce ancient designs. Our Impruneta terracotta items can withstand temperatures as low as –25 degrees Celsius, setting us apart from other available products on the market.
The Tuscan village of Impruneta is renowned for its clay imbued with valuable minerals necessary in creating the highest-quality terracotta products known to man. The manufacturing of Terracotta in Impruneta is an ancient art dating back to the Etruscan civilization. In Renaissance times, the rich and powerful Medici used Impruneta terracotta extensively to decorate their sumptuous palace gardens. Thanks to Lynette Proler, these masterpieces grace the most exclusive gardens in the United States.
