A scalloped terracotta vessel made by artisans in Sabana Grande, Honduras — terracotta paired with iron, shaped by hand so every piece differs slightly in size and line.

Decorative rather than functional: this is a piece to place, not to fill with water. Its scale and the rhythm of the scalloping do the work.

At a glance

  • Handmade terracotta with iron detail
  • Made by artisans in Sabana Grande, Honduras
  • Scalloped sculptural form
  • For decorative use only — not watertight
  • Dimensions vary slightly between pieces

How to use it

Place it where it has room. Dried stems, pampas or branches suit it; fresh flowers in water do not, as the vessel is not sealed.

Dust with a dry brush. Keep it out of persistent damp, which terracotta absorbs.

✨ Temple Tip

Terracotta reads warm against cool materials. Set it near stone, glass or metal and both look better; set it near more terracotta and it disappears.

Questions we get asked

Can I put water in it?

No. It is for decorative use only. Use dried arrangements.

Is every piece the same size?

No — hand production means slight variation in dimensions and form.

What is it made of?

Terracotta with iron detailing.

How do I clean it?

A dry brush. Avoid soaking unsealed terracotta.

In short

The Ella Terracotta Vessel is a scalloped decorative vase made by artisans in Sabana Grande, Honduras, from terracotta with iron detailing. Each piece is shaped by hand, so size and line vary slightly between vessels. It is used as a sculptural object or with dried stems, pampas and branches. It costs $255.95. The terracotta is unsealed and not watertight, so it does not hold water or fresh flowers, and it is cleaned with a dry brush rather than washed.
