The Art. 258 Cesto Classico is a decorative outdoor vase that brings the timeless elegance of classical Italian garden design to any terrace, villa, or outdoor space. With a height of 47 cm (18.5”) and a generous diameter of 58 cm, its broad, rounded silhouette recalls the shape of a woven basket — a form deeply rooted in the Mediterranean ornamental tradition. The wide opening and balanced proportions make it equally striking as a standalone decorative element or as a refined planter for seasonal flowers and lush greenery.
Crafted from agglomerato cementizio composto da graniglia di marmo di Carrara e cemento bianco RCK 52,5, this vase combines the natural beauty of authentic Carrara marble aggregate with the structural integrity of high-performance white cement. The result is a surface with a distinctive warm, stone-like texture that weathers gracefully over time, developing the patina typical of fine outdoor sculpture. At 56 kg (123.5 lbs), the Cesto Classico offers the reassuring solidity of a truly permanent garden element, resistant to wind, rain, and the full range of outdoor conditions throughout the year.
Whether placed at the entrance of a villa, positioned symmetrically along a garden path, or used as a focal point on a stone terrace, this decorative garden vase adapts effortlessly to both formal and naturalistic settings. Its classic basket form pairs beautifully with Mediterranean plantings, topiary, or simply displayed empty as a sculptural accent.
To ensure long-lasting performance, always keep the drainage hole clear: place a 4–5 cm layer of gravel or pebbles at the bottom of the vase before adding soil. Raise the vase 3–4 cm off the ground using feet or spacers to prevent the external drainage hole from becoming blocked by surface water or debris. In regions with harsh winters, take care to avoid water pooling inside the vase — standing water that freezes can cause cracking. Ensuring proper drainage is the single most effective measure to protect your vase year-round.
The Cesto Classico is entirely rifinito a mano at the Italpark workshop in Borgo San Giacomo, Brescia — a family-run production that has been crafting cement marble vases Made in Italy since 1968. Each piece reflects over five decades of artisanal expertise, quality materials, and an unwavering commitment to the Italian outdoor living tradition.
