About the Item

Orcio pots have been used for centuries to store perishables, originating in ancient Italy as terra cotta olive jars. Notice the rotund body and narrower neck that is true to the original orcio form. The smaller openings minimized exposure to the air, helping to preserve the contents of the pots. This pair of cast stone orcio pots from Southern Italy is quite heavy, allowing them to be used as tree planters (interior openings are 14 ½ inches in diameter). The coloration of our orcio pots is roughly stone gray, but there are accents of ochre, white, and lighter gray, making them attractive options for garden ornaments as well.
