Anfora mod. Caracalla

ART. 322 — Anfora mod. Caracalla

The Caracalla amphora is a monumental decorative garden vase that draws its inspiration from the grand classical forms of ancient Rome. Standing 100 cm tall with a generous diameter of 56 cm, its bold, swelling body tapers gracefully toward a defined neck before opening into a wide, commanding mouth — proportions that convey both strength and elegance. The surface presents the characteristic warm texture of Carrara marble granulate, lending the piece a refined, timeless aesthetic that integrates naturally into formal gardens, villa courtyards, and prestigious terraces.

Every Caracalla amphora is crafted from an agglomerato cementizio composed of Carrara marble granulate and white cement RCK 52.5 — a certified, high-density material that ensures exceptional resistance to weathering, UV exposure, and temperature fluctuations. At 123 kg, this vase has the substantial presence of a true architectural element, designed to anchor a space and define it with understated grandeur.

Thanks to its generous volume and classical silhouette, the Caracalla is equally suited as a standalone decorative statement — placed at the entrance of a villa, flanking a garden staircase, or positioned as a focal point on a stone terrace — and as a planter for ornamental shrubs, topiary, or seasonal flowering plants. Its scale makes it a natural companion to Mediterranean landscapes, formal Italian gardens, and contemporary outdoor living spaces alike.

Maintenance and Care

To preserve the integrity of your vase over time, always ensure the drainage hole remains unobstructed: place a 4–5 cm layer of gravel or pebbles at the bottom of the pot before adding soil. Raise the vase 3–4 cm off the ground using feet or spacers to prevent external blockage of the drainage hole. In regions subject to frost, this precaution is essential: standing water that freezes inside the vase can cause cracking or structural damage. Dimensions and weight are indicative.
