Wedgwood Majolica Pair of Cache Pots, Dated 1872.

Pair of Wedgwood Majolica Cache Pots, 
Circa 1872.

The elegant footed circular cache pots have three bands of decoration separated by bands of ochre.  The wide central band has a cobalt blue ground with moulded trellis work in yellow.  Above and below are narrow encircling band of moulded, naturalistically coloured flowers, leaves, and stems.

Dimensions: 6 1/2 inches high x 6 3/4 inch diameter

Marks: Script #891 in red and blue, inscribed WEDGWOOD and letters- on one an impressed N and impressed GSA- and the other with an impressed D and ZHA, A for 1872.

Reference:
In contrast with a usual flower pot, the cachepot has no hole at its base for discharging excess water so it does not spoil the furniture underneath. But such a design presents a risk for the plant whose roots can rot if left immersed in water.
