Stylish large Italian terracotta flower pot for the garden - Goti Terrecotte

Incredible product design combined with careful firing of clay from Impruneta quarries gives us a picture of Goti Terrecotte d’Arte.

Goti Terrecotte boasts over fifty years of experience born from the owner Giancarlo's strong passions. Mr. Giancarlo began his journey as a ceramic decorator apprentice, later opening a small craft workshop in Sesto Fiorentino after marrying Ms. Fiorella Goti. The expansion occurred within a few years, and in 1973, he achieved progress and established his company in Calenzano, a few kilometers from Florence, Tuscany. The knowledge Giancarlo gained over the years through experimentation with materials and production techniques includes:

- Artistic cast ceramic processing, replacing traditional casting methods

- Use of clay from Impruneta quarries for the production of frost-resistant cookware made from a unique family recipe, mixed and kneaded with water to create professional or outdoor food ovens with high-certified resistance and quality of fireproof terracotta, fired at 1040°C.

A well-equipped laboratory allows for the handcrafted and personalized creation of jars, tiles, statues, pots, vases, sinks, chimneys, bricks on order, bas-reliefs, and various decorative items. The production department dedicated to wood-fired ovens has enabled Goti Terrecotte to be recognized internationally as a benchmark in the market for professional, domestic, and garden fireclay wood-fired ovens.

The product range, from classic to modern furniture, includes over 1000 items in the catalog. Additionally, the brand is prepared to produce custom items based on drawings or orders. 90% of production goes to the "garden of clients," says Giancarlo, owner of Goti Terrecotte d'Autore.

Artifacts are left to cure for 5 days in a dedicated oven at 1040°C. Only careful drying before firing prevents cracking during firing and ensures high mechanical resistance. High quality is guaranteed, certified, and tested in a refractory material laboratory. Raw materials used are sourced directly from Impruneta quarries. The clay found in Impruneta gives the finished product a unique color and extraordinary frost resistance.

For this reason, Goti Terrecotte seeks out and acquires prestigious Impruneta clay: an unrivaled raw material with remarkable properties, primarily "frost resistance," meaning it does not absorb water and can withstand even the lowest temperatures almost indefinitely. Of course, the manufacturing process is also refined and more complex, with longer times: Impruneta clay is processed through molding, has very slow drying times, and is fired at extremely high temperatures.
