Helena Raw BERGS POTTERY Made in Italy

THE HELENA STORY The scalloped clay fringe along the top edge of the beautiful Helena Pot gives it a soft and classic look.

Fascinated by the idea of a decorative rim, Steffen Berg created our Helena Pot with the remarkable scalloped border to acquire a soft yet classic-looking flowerpot. Today, our Italian potters pay homage to Rosso’s masterpiece every time a new Helena Pot is moulded. Helena is available in two additional varieties: a tall rose pot and a low herb dish.
