Orange Pot
The pot refers to the flowerpots first made in Renaissance Tuscany. In the 1440s the architects of the time had the idea of putting Citrus trees in very large pots all around the gardens. The best artists of the day, including Lucca della Robbia were employed to design these pots.
The Whichford design is closely allied to these originals.
