This is a very attractive Summer Flower Sprig Decorated Ceramic Cachepot in the traditional Chinese fish bowl shape. Looks great indoors or out and is designed to hold a potted plant. The planter is watertight and will catch excess water that drains through the cachepot. This item is slightly distressed ceramic. This means during the manufacturing process slight imperfections have been deliberately created. These give the item an older more 'antique' look than it would have if it had been made to be perfect. There may be parts of a design missing, slight bumps, or other surface imperfections or irregularities in the glaze. These are meant to give the careworn and well-used look of a much older item to a recently manufactured product. This distressed finish is not to be regarded as a fault.
