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. Often the top lifts off. The tulipiere and flower brick are types that allow larger numbers of flowers.

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