French Majolica Cache Pot

• Cache Pots - A cache pot, also spelt as cachepot, is a type of decorative container used to hold a flower pot containing a potted plant. The cache pot is a separate container from the plant's actual pot and is typically used to enhance the appearance of the plant or to hide an unattractive or functional flower pot. They are also used to protect the surface of furniture or floors from the water and soil of a potted plant. They can also be used to conceal an unsightly plastic nursery pot, or to provide a drainage layer for a plant.
  
  Cache pots have been used throughout history to enhance the beauty of potted plants and were particularly popular during the Victorian era. Major manufacturers of ceramics cache pots included Minton, Wedgwood, Meissen and Royal Worcester.
