Are Kiltrea pots frost proof?
Kiltrea Terracotta, Tuscan Umber and Yellow- ware are high fired and guaranteed for five years not to disintegrate
or laminate from frost provided the correct pot shape is chosen and the pot is correctly potted up.
Certain pot shapes are more susceptible to be cracked by frozen contents. Wet soil expands as it freezes, therefore flared open- topped containers are less likely to experience frost cracking, as their shape allows soil to expand upwards.
It is critical that the drainage holes remain unblocked and the correct amount of drainage material is used.
Up to the bottom third of the pot can be filled with broken crockery, chippings or stones the remainder should be planted using good quality compost. If possible, it is wisest to remove pots to a sheltered location in frosty weather.

What is the Palette glaze?
Kiltrea’s signature ‘palette glaze’ produces an effect that is difficult to describe. By attempting to break it down into its constituent parts, one can lose sight of the magic of its endless variation, and its enduring appeal.
The elements are straightforward enough – the glaze consists of an ivory base with an overlay of various shades of green, blue and gold.
When palette-glazed pottery is placed in a predominantly blue environment, the blue-based glazes dominate while in a different setting, the green tones or the cream base is to the fore. In essence, Kiltrea’s ‘palette glaze’ represents an alchemist’s brew of beautiful, vibrant, randomly-merging, mellifluous colours that are endlessly unique and utterly intriguing.
Kiltrea’s ‘Palette glaze’ is also refreshingly understated which goes some way towards explaining why our pottery is equally at home in traditional or contemporary surroundings.
