Two of the most respected family businesses in Southern Spain have been designing and making pots for generations, working with raw materials, treating and preparing the clay themselves, they have also improved the clay chemically with techniques previous generations were unfamiliar with. Whilst this has made their pots better suited for outdoor use in lower temperatures and more resistant to the elements, Frost and extreme winter temperatures here in the UK can have an adverse effect on the clay. We therefore highly recommend that you protect the pots from these elements in the winter months.
