Cretan pots exude a character and uniqueness not found in any other terracotta, this is not the result of simply a conceived commercial project or from a “faux style” and finish achieved by mass production methods in a vast factory somewhere, Cretan pots are the result of a great many factors, historically beginning over 4,000 years ago when the first great pots were produced in the Minoan period utilising craftsmen’s skills – passed down to today’s generation – and also including the unique and natural materials only found and used in Crete.
