This cachepot (or flower pot) was adapted from the original five sided antique with raised turquoise feet. The delicate bat design and five curvacious sides have a specific Chinese symbolism. Wufu, symbolized by the bat, refers to the Five Happinesses or blessings. These are Health, Wealth, Virtue, Long Life and a Good End. A spectacular gift for orchid enthusiasts.
Also available with a Famille Verte design.
