Udumbara wild clay flower pots

Udumbara wild clay flower pottery is a contemporary classic from the artist Eva Spoof. 

The flower pots are earth friendly and each is one of a kind that Eva is lovingly making in her studio in Helsinki's Kallio. 

Terracotta pairs beautifully with delicate old Arabia porcelaine saucers that have lost their cups somewhere. Just like our grannies use to use them…under the flowerpots. 

Udumbara planters are made from wild clay from the small village of Kultela in Somero, Southwestern Finland. The planters are ideally suited for a plant's physiological needs. It is completely natural, porous, and has thermal properties that make it an asset to plants. The porous nature of clay means you cannot easily overwater plants, the roots can breathe, and the clay itself has excellent heat retention and repellent properties. All of this adds up to better plant care. Part of their beauty is their tendency to beautify with age as they weather and absorb mineral salts from the soil.

The color of the planters will turn darker in use.
