In the gardening world, terracotta pots are a common favorite for their warm tones and natural breathability. But while Nipots clay pots share the same roots, they go far beyond traditional terracotta in both function and craftsmanship.
✅ What Is a Traditional Terracotta Pot?
Made from red clay and fired at lower temperatures (around 800°C–1000°C), terracotta pots are known for:
• Affordable cost and wide availability
• Naturally porous and breathable structure
• Easy to use for most beginner plantings
However, there are key downsides:
• Fragile and prone to cracking
• When fired at high temperatures, they undergo vitrification (ceramization) — becoming durable but losing breathability and water absorption, which is harmful to plant roots
• Rough appearance and limited variation
🟤 What Makes Nipots Different?
We use a custom-formulated coarse clay, specially developed to withstand firing at over 1200°C without losing function.
Here’s how Nipots stands out:
• 🔥 No vitrification under high heat – Our clay retains its porous nature, unlike standard terracotta
• 💧 Unglazed interior & base – Even with partial glazing, the pots always preserve raw clay inside and underneath for proper water and air exchange
• 🧱 Stronger structure and longer-lasting
• 🎨 Unique kiln effects and color patterns – Every piece is distinct
🌿 More Than a Pot – A Way of Living
“Go with Nature” is Nipots’ core philosophy.
We believe the ideal life flows with nature and is embraced with a calm heart. Through planting, we gradually attune ourselves to the rhythm of nature—breathing with it, growing with it, and letting our hearts find stillness alongside our plants.
Nipots is more than pottery—it’s a quiet, living connection between you and nature.
