terracotta vase

Earthen decorative container

A terracotta vase is a container made from terracotta—unglazed, brownish-red earthenware clay that has been fired at low temperatures.

The porous material makes these vases practical for plants, allowing air and moisture to pass through.

Terracotta vases range from simple garden pots to decorative pieces, and the term evokes both ancient Mediterranean pottery and contemporary home décor.
