The burned clay (terracotta) is a natural material, characterized by high porosity - consequently, the root system of plants in the vase is actively enriched through the soil with oxygen. If the product is covered with a special icing, then it loses its porosity;
• stone - Street vases from this material are piece products on which various volumetric ornaments can be avoided. The process of their manufacture is quite laborious, therefore the stone vases are quite expensive. Their advantages include high decorativeness, strength and durability. In addition, the stone moistureproof and high quality holds moisture in the soil of the vase;

• concrete - in their characteristics resemble products from stone, but they are much cheaper. In hot summer, the ability of street vases from concrete is particularly relevant to maintain moisture in the ground. Due to the low thermal conductivity of this material, the root system of the plant will not overheat sharply and transfer. Vases made from a mixture of concrete and stone crumbs look thoroughly and solid, as a result of its massiveness, they will fit mainly for the plots of a fairly large area;
