Description: For your consideration is an ebullient set of 4 mid-century, vintage papier maché tabletop cache or orchid pots from France.

This handmade grouping embodies a quality of an earthly, natural look and feel. Perfect for a festive and well appointed table for entertaining.

Richly pigmented turquoise was a popular accent in France post 1940s and the handmade paper inclusions are infused with bits of garden ephemera - dried herbs, grasses, and rose petals. The pigments used to dye the paper transcend a broad turquoise green spectrum in the most festive of palettes. The protective shellac deepens this play as the cache pots frolic with the light.

***Note that two of the cache pots\' innards were executed in a Ruby pigment whilst its counterpart pair embodies the all-over turquoise. Another charming detail that boasts an unmanufactured time of the past.
