Impruneta Terra Cotta

22 years ago

Has anyone ever bought any terra cotta pots from Impruneta, Italy? The mineral content of the clay makes them 100% frost proof. Seibert & Rice is a distributor, but the prices are high.

Does anyone know of other sources for Impruneta terra cotta?

Do you know which part of Italy it is in? Much of the ceramics come from the Deruta or Vicenza regions. I have never heard of the name 'Impruneta'. I would like to look it up since we will be there over Christmas and we and our friends are involved in Ceramic manufacturing. If you wish, I could look for web addresses or catalogs for you. Lina.

Impruneta is outside of Florence. If you go to the Seibert & Rice web page there is a nice (and short) video.

If you search with Google use the Italian spelling of "terrecotte" or "terre cotte" along with the word "Impruneta" and you will find the workshops.
