Anduze Garden Pots from Provence
The iconic Anduze urn traces its origins to the early 17th century, under the reign of King Henry IV, when a French potter from Anduze was inspired by the classical beauty of a Medici vase from Florence. Blending Italian Renaissance design with regional craftsmanship, he created the first hand-thrown terracotta urn that would become a hallmark of Provençal garden style. Characterized by its elegant flared shape, decorative garlands, and signature medallion, the ceramic Anduze planter quickly found its place in the gardens of Southern France. Still crafted today in the Provence region, each hand-thrown Anduze urn is produced using traditional techniques passed down through generations. Finished in authentic glazes such as olive green, honey yellow, and flamed brown, these French garden pots and planters are highly valued for their durability, artisanal quality, and historic charm. The collection includes sizes ranging from small 7” to extra-large 41” in height, making them suitable for terraces, courtyards, and formal landscapes. Authentic Provence also features hand-picked antique Anduze planters from the 19th century, each with a beautifully aged patina that enhances their historic character and Provençal authenticity. Please note that these French planters are not frost-proof nor frost-resistant and should be covered or brought indoors before frost occurs.
