The upper section of the cachepot is further enhanced by a delicate blue ribbon motif that gracefully encircles the piece, adding to its harmonious design.
Designed to be both functional and decorative, the cachepot includes a drainage hole at the bottom, suggesting it was intended for use as a planter while also serving as an exquisite decorative object.
