Large garden pots in container?

[persianharry]

We have a couple of large Greek terracotta pots that we would like to take to Oz with us in our crate. Over the years they have gone a bit green. We have pressure washed them down but they still look marked, like a stain in the terracotta. Does anyone know if these would be allowed through Australian customs?

We have just got our old jardinier through and it is very old and stained. Try and shift the green stuff if you can and give them a good dousing in Jeyes!!

The space they take? Wouldn't it cost more to ship them than to buy new here? What is special about "Greek terracota"?

Well we brought a few large garden pots as we had space in the container. Good ones are expensive so worth it. We cleaned them very well. They were unwrapped by customs but no problems.

We were given them as a wedding present, think 4ft high and cost about £300 each. They won't actually take up much space as we can fill them with other stuff.
