Our flowerpots are incredibly robust, but we want to be sure they are handled with care so wherever possible we deliver the pots ourselves, otherwise we use a reliable carrier.

10 Year Frostproof Guarantee

We prepare our own clay, so our terracotta flowerpots all carry a 10 year frostproof guarantee against lamination in the frost. Every Whichford pot is stamped with the Whichford mark and a stamp signalling the year the pot was made so if you believe your pot has laminated in the frost do send us pictures and we will take it from there. We replace any pot that has laminated in the frost. Please click here for more info.

Quality & Design

All our flowerpots and crockery are handmade by our team of highly skilled craftsmen – being handmade, every item is unique. The handmaking process may result in variations in size, shape and decoration. The clay we use is a special mix of local clays, prepared and blended in-house to ensure the highest grade of frostproof terracotta. High quality terracotta like ours will insulate the roots of your plants from extremes of temperature while allowing them to breathe, and it will acquire a beautiful patina with time.
Every one of our flowerpots is made entirely by hand and is an individual piece of craftsmanship. Our designs are unique — ranging from the properly traditional to the completely new.

Patina on Our pots

Our clays are sourced directly local pits and contain lots of minerals and salts which will sometimes come to the surface of the pot during early use as the water migrates through the porous wall of the pot, creating the classic natural patina of aged terracotta.

If this is not desirable, then once the salts have appeared and aged they can be cleaned off with a stiff broom or a damp sponge.

Jim & Dominique’s Sgraffito

The sgraffito pieces featured on this website and in the offer are unique and once sold they will no longer be available. There are more available at the Pottery.

Flowerpots & Tableware being handmade, every item is unique. We endeavour to make items to the sizes listed in the catalogue, but the nature of the raw clay and the handmaking process may result in variations in size, shape and decoration.

Second Flowerpots

Any flowerpot which is bought as a ‘second’ from Whichford Pottery will be marked with black marker pen and will not be covered by our 10 Year Frostproof Guarantee.

Glazeware

Unfortunately, our glazeware does not carry a 10 year frostproof guarantee. Whilst our clay carries a 10 year frostproof guarantee, the glazes we use do not.

Protecting Your Card Payment Details 

We use a well-known secure payment platform company, Opayo (formally SagePay), which is approved by our Bank to process your order. Any card details given by you are not stored on the server or in any email format. You will receive a confirmation of your order by email.
