What is "terracotta"?
Terracotta is a type of clay that is baked at a low temperature to create a durable, reddish-brown ceramic material. It is often used for making pottery, sculptures, and tiles. Terracotta items have a natural, earthy color and a porous texture, which can be left unglazed or covered with a clear or colored glaze. This material is valued for its workability, affordability, and the warm, rustic look it provides.
