The Roman Empire was the inspiration for the Emilia Pot with the signature rope that gently rests on the top edge of this tall, slender pot. Since the 1800s, the Italian city of Modena in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy has been renowned for producing this type of embellishing rope for sundry decorative purposes. An original design by Bergs Potter and made in Tuscany, the Emilia Pot is a tribute to the region and the use of time-honoured techniques.
