The Roman Empire was the inspiration for the Emilia Pot with the signature rope that gently rests on the top edge of this tall, slender pot. Since the 1800s, the Italian city of Modena in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy has been renowned for producing this type of embellishing rope for sundry decorative purposes.
An original design by Bergs Potter and made in Tuscany, the Emilia Pot is a tribute to the region and the use of time-honoured techniques.

Unique handmade pots since 1942
Bergs Potter make high-quality terracotta pots that plants love. High-quality materials and craftsmanship mean our pots will live on from one generation to the next.
Handcrafted with love
Our pots and planters are designed in Denmark and handcrafted with love from premium quality clay at small, family-owned workshops in northern Italy and Portugal.
We always strive to achieve the best quality products. We fire our clay at extremely high temperatures and use slow-burning firing, giving our pots unique and natural durability. In addition to our collection of raw terracotta pots, we make pots and vases in glazed ceramics. Each of our ceramic pots and vases is glazed the old-fashioned way, individually and by hand, to achieve our rich, deep colour.
Pots your plants love
We believe that living with plants improves the quality of life. Pots and plants are an easy and stylish way to transform the look and feel of your home, but for the plants to make you thrive, they need to thrive, too. Since 1942 Bergs Potter has created pots your plants love. Proper drainage gives their roots room to breathe, and superior clay holds in the moisture they need. At Bergs Potter, we create durable pots designed for both indoor and outdoor use. If you take good care of them, they can be passed down from generation to generation.
Bergs planters capture the simple beauty of Danish design, drawing inspiration from time-tested antique styles. This beautifully detailed set is inspired by one manufactured at Denmark's Fredensborg Palace around 1860. Every pot and saucer is made from the best quality Italian terracotta clay, high-fired for frost resistance and indoor-outdoor durability. With time and handling, the terracotta will develop a weathered patina; you may polish your planters with a mild vinegar solution and soft cloth to restore a spotless appearance.
- Galestro terracotta clay
- Indoor or outdoor use
- Winter care: For best longevity, empty and place upside down on boards or pot feet during the winter months.
- Please note: each pot or saucer is hand-finished; some variation in color and texture should be expected. Due to the porous quality of natural clay, items will change color or patina over time from exposure to water, handling, and salts found in soil. Items may arrive with some marks of handling; a vinegar solution can be used to return your item to its original finish after handling.
- Drainage hole included
- Designed in Denmark by Berg’s
- Handmade in Italy
