Cretan pots are without doubt the finest in the world. Handmade today, as they have been for millennia, frost proof and incredibly durable, they are valued as much for their design and tactile qualities as for their practicality.
Today, they make striking garden features, either purely decorative or for specimen planting.
By purchasing your pot from Heart & Fire, you’ll not only be getting a superb pot at a remarkable price, you’ll also be buying directly from a small Greek family business.
Yiannis Papantoniou runs the family garden centre just outside Agria, the gateway to the stunning Pelion peninsular, at the foot of the Pelion mountain where the Centaurs used to roam and the old gods themselves took their holidays.
Yiannis has a unique relationship with his Cretan Potters , built up over the four generations of his family business. As such, he is able to offer what we think are the best prices available for the internationally famous terracotta pots from Crete.
These beautiful pots are known for their classical design, their unique patina and their exceptional frost-resistant properties.
Equally stunning as planters or as purely decorative features, these pots transcend fashion and give any garden or conservatory a timeless quality. Only Cretan pots are truly frost-resistant, so they will last, literally, for hundreds if not thousands of years. There are plenty of intact examples dating back to the Bronze Age.
If you are looking for traditional Cretan pots at prices that we don’t think you’ll find anywhere else, and want to purchase them from a family business rather than a large organization, then you’re in the right place – Yianni’s Garden Centre & Nursery in the Pelion. Welcome to Heart & Fire.
