European Terra Cotta Seed Pots

We are lucky to know a gentleman who travels to Europe three or four times per year. We benefit directly from his search for unique, quality antiques. When his latest containers arrived, we were fortunate to be able to purchase some wonderful new(old) treasures. Among the items we brought to Le Potager were these wonderful seed pots from a conservatory closed decades ago.

We are in love with these pots. In the spring we will plant many of these up with strawberries and several types of herbs. Until then, we will use these charming little pots inside the shop.

Whether holding our business cards, as unique risers in display vignettes of decor items or to hold these charming antique silver fork pot markers, we are can use these pots anywhere.

Using terra cotta pots inside your home, especially during the fall & winter months when they are not in use in the garden, can add so much to your decor.

I lined the fireplace mantle with these great little pots, set tea lights inside and enjoyed a soft warm light. 

I did the same up the front walkway in lieu of luminarias. I have also used them to hold silverware on a buffet table and lined them with cupcake papers then filled them with candies or cookies. There are so many possibilities- enjoy discovering some of your own.
