The Kioupi is one of Crete's most beloved and enduring pottery shapes — wide-mouthed, generously proportioned, and designed with planting in mind. Its broad opening and deep belly provide excellent root volume, making it as practical as it is beautiful. Whether filled with colourful summer annuals, trailing herbs, or a single dramatic specimen plant, the Kioupi delivers a vibrant Mediterranean character to any garden setting.
Hand-thrown in Crete using traditional techniques, each Kioupi is finished with the island's signature rope-twist decorative band — a detail that has adorned Cretan pottery for centuries. The pot is fired in kilns fuelled by olive pits, giving the terracotta its distinctive warm, earthy tone that deepens beautifully with age and weathering outdoors.
Sturdy, characterful, and deeply rooted in Cretan craft tradition — the Kioupi is a pot that earns its place in the garden for years to come.
