Specialty Gardening: Wonderful Pot!, 1 by darius

Suzanne, there is a real dearth of good glazed ceramic pots, esp. big ones. The Italian pots are good quality, but much of what we see here in the states that's affordable is the cheaper-made Mexican clay pots. (There are good Mexican pots, we just see the cheap ones in stores, esp. the big box stores.)

Cheap pots often look good, they just do not hold up. That pot is from China, and I don't know about quality yet. My good friend has one (smaller and under $100) that's been on his deck 2 years now but I think it has an Epi in it so it comes inside for winter. Frankly if I ever pay that much for a pot, it WILL come in for winter!

Here's another my friend has for sale, 22" tall, 13 x 13 square, $130.
