Bough pot

A bough pot is a vessel for holding stems of flowers and branches to decorate an interior, especially a fireplace during summer.

They are typically ceramic, and have a body to hold water, with a number of small openings for the stems in the top.

The term "bough pot" was common in use in Europe during the 18th and 19th centuries.

[1] During summer in Europe, the fireplace was not used in a house.
