  • What Makes It Uncommon
    For those who love their plants but not the guesswork, this handmade terra-cotta olla is here to do the heavy lifting—quietly, beautifully, and efficiently. Designed by Wisconsin-based makers Karen and Matt Wosoba, this ancient watering solution uses the natural porosity of terra-cotta to release water right where roots need it. Just bury the olla in your pot, fill it with water, and let it work its underground magic. The hand-glazed lid, available in Dark Blue or Peppermint Green, keeps debris out and charm in. No two lids are alike, so every piece feels one of a kind.

    • Porous terra-cotta slowly releases water directly to roots, reducing waste and guesswork.
    • Colorful glazed lid comes in Dark Blue or Peppermint Green; each one is uniquely finished.
    • Holds 1 pint of water—perfect for 8"–12" houseplants and containers.
    • Reduces surface moisture to help prevent weeds and overwatering.
    • Handmade in Menasha, Wisconsin.

    created by Karen & Matt Wosoba

    Karen and Matt Wosoba are the husband-and-wife team behind a line of handmade ollas, crafted in their Menasha, Wisconsin, basement studio. High school sweethearts with a shared love of gardening and clay, they turned a side project into a full-time creative collaboration. Karen throws and glazes the lids, while Matt perfects the terra-cotta mix and casting. Their colorful, functional vessels are inspired by ancient irrigation methods. "There is so much creativity in growing stuff!" Karen says. Their work has connected them with fellow plant lovers across the country and has even made its way into school gardens and learning centers, where time-tested tradition meets modern, sustainable living.
