Supreme vs. Original
Supreme version
About the original
The Poggi Ugo small terracotta planter is a hand-finished pot from the workshop's classic line, produced at the family kiln in Impruneta, Tuscany. Poggi Ugo has operated since 1919 as a founding member of the Consorzio Chianti Classico-era Impruneta terracotta guild, firing clay drawn from the same galestro-rich basin used in Renaissance Florence. Impruneta clay is frost-resistant below minus 30 degrees Celsius and breathable enough to regulate root moisture without a drainage layer. The Supreme version measures 5.24 inches in diameter and carries an embossed Supreme stamp in place of the maker's mark.
About Poggi Ugo
Poggi Ugo is an Italian terracotta workshop founded in 1919 by Tommaso Tobia Poggi in Impruneta, near Florence, Italy. Tobia's son Ugo Poggi continued the artistic production, and after Ugo's death the workshop was renamed Poggi Ugo by his daughters in 1982; it is now run by his grandchildren Antonella and Lorenzo Andrei alongside a team of master craftsmen. The kiln building dates to the 1500s, and Impruneta clay has been fired in the area since the Etruscans. Every vase is hand-thrown using traditional techniques, and the catalog covers more than 1,700 different pieces, from Renaissance-style garden urns to contemporary planters. Supreme collaborated with Poggi Ugo on co-branded terracotta planters made in Impruneta.
