Beautifully handmade and stamped "Sander’s patent Orchid pans regno 290486"....made around 1900s this Orchid pot is new and unused. Designed specifically for Orchid cultivation with a wide-open rim and air holes for the root system to breath and absorb moisture. It has holes in the rim to affix wires and suspend the pot,
This Orchid pan patent design was unique as it included a projection in the base to mimic the orchids natural growing position. In fantastic condition for a pot over 100 years old. No major cracks and still rings when tapped but does have a minor intact chip/flake to the rim from storage ( around 40mm in length) It came into my possession a number of years ago from a nursery clearance and has been proudly displayed in my potting shed ever since.
The name Sanders remains synonymous in the Orchid world to this day, many of the varieties and hybrids available to us now are due to the efforts of the Sanders family and their early Orchid discoveries.
Measuring 6 1/2 inches in diameter and standing just under 4 1/2inches tall. Or 165mm x 115mm.
UK mainland postage is included in the price or a discount is available for collection from Derby.
