What is terracotta made from?
Terracotta is a type of clay-based earthenware. Terracotta derives its name from its signature brown-orange hue. Terracotta is more budget-friendly than bronze and marble, making it ideal for large-scale sculptures, flooring and more. Browse a wide collection of terracotta-crafted items on 1stDibs.
