Red Lantern 12" Porcelain Blue & White Fishbowl Planter — Hand-Finished Indoor/Sheltered Outdoor Cachepot

Red Lantern's 12" blue-and-white porcelain fishbowl planter is a classic Chinese-style cachepot crafted for elegant indoor or sheltered outdoor display.

Hand-finished in high-temperature Chinese porcelain, this round jardinière blends Ming-inspired court motifs with a wide, flat lip and a traditional fishbowl silhouette. Its glazed blue-and-white surface suits both formal and casual interiors — from boho and eclectic to modern or traditional settings — and it looks striking either placed directly on the floor or raised on a separate stand.

How large is this porcelain fishbowl and will it fit my plant?

The planter measures 12 inches across the rim with a 9.25" opening diameter and an 8.00" bottom diameter, giving ample room for medium-sized houseplants or layered plantings. The rounded interior offers generous root space for container-friendly specimens such as small palms, compact ficus, or lush foliage groups.

• Overall diameter: 12" at rim for a commanding presence
• Opening diameter: 9.25" — fits 6–8" nursery pots or repotting directly
• Bottom diameter: 8.00" for stable soil volume
• No drainage hole — suitable for use with liner or drainage layer

Can I use this planter outdoors or on a stand?

The porcelain is kiln-fired at high temperatures to create a durable glazed finish appropriate for covered outdoor spaces like porches or sheltered patios. If you want elevation, the planter sits beautifully on a decorative five-leg fishbowl stand (stand sold separately) or directly on a floor or tabletop for a grounded look.

• Recommended for sheltered outdoor use to avoid freeze damage
• Works with ornamental stands; stand not included
• Ideal for entryways, porches, living rooms and conservatories
• Use a liner or drainage system to protect the glaze from standing water

What care does the porcelain cachepot require?

Cleaning is simple: wipe with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if needed; avoid abrasive pads that can dull the glaze. Because it has no drainage hole, add a gravel layer or use a plastic nursery pot inside to manage moisture and prevent root rot.

• Wipe clean with mild detergent and soft cloth
• Protect from prolonged frost and sudden temperature changes
• Use a liner or internal pot to control watering
• Avoid harsh cleaners or scrubbing pads to preserve the pattern

This Red Lantern porcelain fishbowl is for anyone who wants a timeless, painterly accent that marries Eastern ceramic tradition with Western decorating styles.
