Pots wanted
« on: December 22, 2017, 12:08:20 PM »
Hello All,
This is my very first post here!
I am seeking a specific size/shape of terracotta pot for a display I want to put together.
I am having trouble sourcing this pot size and wondered if anyone here had some they could loan/sell me.
The dimensions are 18cm diameter X 13.5cm depth. This is to have a square aquatic pot plunged inside, hidden.
Really appreciate any leads.
Thanks!

Mmmmm! I haven't found any of the size you wanted on any searches I've made. Might be possible to have some made but possibly expensive. Maybe try:-

Hello Sarahrose! We have a large collection of terracotta pots - I'll have a look to see if any  meet those  dimensions....

Might  be handy to know what size the aqua pots you need to disguise will be.???

Hi there,
            The dimensions sound like a half pot or azalea pot size. I found some 17cm x 11.5cm and 21cm x 15cm at crocus.co.uk but no 18cm. Seems odd as its 7"diameter  but maybe the sizes jump in even numbers? Will let you know if I find any

I now discover - rather late in the day - that Sarah Rose got the posts she needed from Cyril Lafong.
