Mottahedeh Chinoise Monteith Cachepot

No, this piece does not have drainage holes, so it is designed to hold a standard nursery pot rather than soil directly. We recommend placing your plant inside its original plastic liner and setting that inside the cachepot to prevent water damage to the porcelain.

This cachepot is intended for indoor use only. The delicate porcelain construction and intricate finish are not designed to withstand the elements or temperature fluctuations found outdoors.

The cachepot measures 10.5 inches in length and 6 inches in width. Because of its sculptural, scalloped silhouette, the interior space is best suited for oval or rectangular arrangements or a standard 6-inch round nursery pot.

To preserve the finish, simply wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the glaze and damage the intricate 18th-century inspired patterns.

Absolutely. While it functions as a planter, its sculptural silhouette and historical design make it a striking centerpiece on its own. It is often used as a decorative vessel for dried botanicals, faux florals, or simply displayed empty to highlight its craftsmanship.
