Cachepots or orchid planters have been a main stay of this line for many years, a Cachepot or Flower bowl is an ideal choice for your favorite orchid or exotic flora.
The pottery is cast from our originals, this makes the shapes and sizes very consistent and delivery times predictable. The Raku glazes have a random quality and can vary depending on glaze thickness and firing conditions. It is always a subjective call in ceramics as to what is a technical flaw or an aesthetic quality, we do our best to make that distinction on a piece to piece basis, please keep this in mind if you have a low tolerance for glaze inconsistencies.
Our primary business revolves around wholesale accounts which are scattered around the US. A list of locations for this line of Raku pottery can be found on Wholesale Raku outlets.

Thank you for your interest in the work,
John and Cathey Dodero
