Cachepot
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cachepot in Art-Nouveau style
A cachepot (from the French Cache-pot = hiding a pot) is a decorative container for growing a plant. And thus it constains a more decorative object than the pot itself. It is often made in (clay) and intentionally disfigured by spots of water or fertilizer.
In contrast with a usual flower pot, the cachepot has no hole at its base for discharging excess water so it does not spoil the furniture underneath. But such a design presents a risk for the plant whose roots can rot if left immersed in water.
