Xia II Cachepot in Terracotta and White Porcelain with Hand-Painted Arabesques, 52 x 32 cm

The Xia II Cachepot is made of hand-painted porcelain, with terracotta arabesques and flowers. It is a cachepot: it holds the plant’s pot inside, while the porcelain remains on show.

With a 52 cm diameter and 32 cm height, it sits on the floor beside the sofa or armchair, or on a low entry bench. The size fits monstera, pothos and large ferns in a medium pot.

The same painting is available in store in sizes II, III and IV, allowing a group at different heights in a hall or on a covered porch.

The Xia line covers the porcelain with terracotta arabesques and flowers, drawn in fine spirals over white. Up close, open flowers appear amid the foliage; from a distance, the piece reads as a continuous terracotta surface.

Near the rim runs a Greek key band that repeats around the piece, and the base ends in a petal frieze. Fine blue lines separate these bands from the body, and the wide rim, turned outward, repeats the terracotta tone.

Because it is hand-painted, the linework and placement of the motifs vary slightly from one piece to another.

• Material: hand-painted porcelain
• Diameter: 52 cm
• Height: 32 cm
• Weight: 14.7 kg
• Use: cachepot for indoor areas and covered porches

Before choosing, measure the plant’s pot: it must be narrower than the cachepot’s mouth, with clearance to fit and remove without scraping the painted rim.

Clean with a soft cloth, dry or slightly damp, and avoid abrasive cleaners and rough sponges, which can scratch the painting. Porcelain is hard, but not impact resistant: protect the piece from knocks when moving furniture nearby.

Use a saucer under the plant pot so watering does not accumulate at the bottom of the cachepot. On wooden floors, a felt pad under the base protects the surface.

Can I plant directly in the cachepot?

The recommended use is as a cachepot: the plant stays in its own pot, with a saucer, and the set goes inside the porcelain. This keeps plant changes simple and irrigation water away from the piece.

What pot fits inside?

The cachepot is 52 cm in external diameter and 32 cm high. Choose a pot narrower than the rim and up to the height of the edge, leaving clearance for fitting.

Can it stay outdoors?

It is indicated for indoor areas and covered porches.

Are all pieces identical?

The painting is done by hand, so the drawing has small variations from one piece to another. The pattern, colors and measurements are the same.

Are there other sizes?

Yes. The Xia line is available in sizes II, III and IV, all with the same painting.
