This antique Anduze terra cotta garden pot has a patina which reflects the centuries. This kind of pottery in terra cotta is decorated with handmade swags and medallions and the dark brown and green drip glaze. This French garden urn is not frost proof and includes drainage.
The iconic Anduze urn traces its origins to the early 17th century, during the reign of King Henry IV. Inspired by the classical elegance of the Medici urn from Florence, a French potter in the town of Anduze blended Italian Renaissance design with Provençal craftsmanship, creating the first hand-thrown terracotta urn in Southern France. Over time, the Anduze pot became a hallmark of French garden style, admired for its graceful silhouette, durability, and decorative charm.
