Cachepots, Jardinieres, Planters and Ferners, oh my!
Something a little different for readers today, a delightful guest blog from my good friend and U.S.A Ruby Lane shop owner, Pam. I was asking a question in the Vintage and Antiques Google Plus communityabout how to describe a vintage planter, (the one in the main image), which led Pam to write the following post.
Cachepots, Jardinieres, Planters and Ferners, oh my! Are there differences in these beautiful bowls, yes but these days the names have become interchangeable.
A completely intact Ferner will have the metal insert, which, due to the passing of time, most do not. The insert is not just over the lip of the bowl but an actual bowl within the bowl. CF Monroe made quite a few of these during the late 1800’s and into the early 1900’s. You will see quite a few of the Wavecrest pattern, most without the insert.
Once the insert is gone, does the piece become a jardiniere, cachepot or just a planter. Technically, just a planter…here’s the breakdown.
