Cobalt Guild Bird & Flower Porcelain Cachepot

No, this piece is designed as a cachepot, meaning it does not have a drainage hole. It is intended to hold a potted plant in its original nursery container or to be used as a decorative vessel.

The bird motif is hand-painted on each piece. Because it is crafted using wheel-thrown porcelain and hand-applied artistry, you may notice slight variations that make your specific cachepot unique.

This cachepot weighs approximately 5.44 kg (12 lbs). Its substantial weight provides a sturdy base, making it ideal for larger floral arrangements or tabletop displays.

While the porcelain construction is durable, it is best suited for indoor use or protected outdoor areas like a covered porch. Prolonged exposure to harsh weather or freezing temperatures could potentially damage the finish.

To maintain the finish, simply wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can scratch the hand-painted surface.

Fair trade production ensures that the artisans who wheel-throw and paint these cachepots work in safe conditions and receive fair compensation for their craftsmanship. It supports ethical manufacturing practices and the preservation of traditional porcelain techniques.
