What is this container called?

8 years ago

Trying to find a container like this but have no idea what to google, ebay or etsy.

I've tried everything from soup/sauce tureen to silver serving pieces to orchid cup (which I don't really think it is).

Any suggestions as to what this might be called? Thanks!

    Are you girls kidding me?! HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS? I have about 5 hours into finding that container. Now it's ordered and on it's way with free shipping! You're the best. How do people function without GW? I should have posted here first.

    Thank you!

    Drool!! Gardener, is this for you or someone else? If it's for you how will you use it?

    Planters like that will look gorgeous on a DR table, no matter what style your decorating is.

    Ahhhh Oakley, ya' caught me, lol. Yes, it's a gift for me ;) I'm going to put white orchids in it. I have a Trader Joe's flower addiction. I have been filling silver sugar bowls, gold-leafed compotes, Mackenzie Child's bowls and anything else I can find with oasis and a plastic liner. Eucalyptus is my new best friend.

    I got the idea from this pinterest champagne bucket.

    The other photos are mine. The Lisianthus isn't too fresh in the compote, but you get the idea.

    And thanks Lyban! I'm going to put that on my Christmas list!

    I'm excited for you! Once you put flowers in it, you must take a picture! I bought a horse statue for my Christmas gift. lol I have it decorated for Christmas and I'll see if I can get a good picture of it.

    Here's my present. The other day I gave the two grandkids the rest of my nutcrackers. Those are giant pine cones in front, so the horse is a nice size.

    Oakley, how old are the grandchildren? I love nutcrackers. They really spark the imagination. And that Christmas vignette is so festive! It just makes me smile :)

    Gardener - that container is calling me, actually I'm thinking about one of the larger ones. But I'd hate to pay nearly $200.00 if it looks inexpensive up close.

    Would you please report back when you receive to let us know how it looks.

    Thanks,

    Maire

    Absolutely, mc. It may not arrive before I leave for the holidays, but I'll post when I return. I purchased it from Amazon for $50 and free shipping. They do have a few larger planters too. RNmom and Lyban really came through. I did a pinterest image search of their links and got to Amazon. Cleo's "footed cache pot" turned up some pretty pieces as well.

    omg Gardener - at times I feel like I'm losing it.......I didn't even think of checking Amazon and I usually double check items there. That makes all the difference - in price, postage and return policy. Especially since my 3 adult kids have been bugging me to give them Christmas ideas.

    "........" sound of hand slapping forehead.

    Thanks - Maire

    Well, hell, now I want that too!!! So very pretty...and I always have orchids in the house.

    I have a vintage silver champagne bucket similar to what you showed that I use quite often for flowers. Right now it has Christmas greens in it. Love the cache pot (or whatever it's called) too.

    Now I want that too!!
