Cretan Snake Jar

These extraordinary garden pots are thrown by hand, then fired for hours in wood-burning kilns that give them a soft and variable shade of tan, which changes with the light and the pots' contents. The Cretan Snake Jar's shape is drawn from Classical-era containers that were then, and are now, common household items in Crete. They provide a look that is both traditional and informal, and we've given them prominent positions throughout our gardens and in our home.

They are marvelous grouped together, since each form seems to flatter every other.

The hallmark of this fine pot is a traditional design of serpent-like curves (think of them as ocean waves if you prefer). The jar's ample size lends itself to standards and larger plants. Keep from freezing in winter. The Snake Jar has one drainage hole.

We are pleased to offer a wide range of attractive containers for both garden and indoor use. These items are generally shipped separately from plants and other items and will, in most cases, ship within a few days of order. Our guarantee applies to all containers - please contact us if your item is damaged in transit or otherwise fails to meet your expectations.

Many containers we offer are large and some are quite heavy, and we put a great deal of care into packing these items for safe transit. Accordingly, these "oversize" items are often subject to shipping & handling charges in excess of our standard rates. We make every effort to communicate, for every item to which these excess charges apply, which shipping destinations are impacted and how these charges are applied. If you have any questions about the shipping & handling charges attendant to a container purchase, please contact our customer service team. 

We utilize both UPS and the USPS, depending on the size/weight of the package and the shipping distance. Both services provide tracking numbers which we include in shipment notification emails. We require a street address for delivery and request that you provide a shipping address where a daytime recipient is available. We cannot be responsible for delivery problems that stem from an incorrectly entered shipping address.
