Wikipedia
A cachepot (from the French word, , meaning "hiding a pot") is a decorative container for a plant and its pot. The decorative focus contrasts from the pot itself, which is often made from a raw material such as clay and often may be disfigured by spots of water or fertiliser. A cachepot has no hole at its base for discharging excess water, so it does not stain the furniture underneath it. However, such a design presents a risk for the plant, whose roots can rot if left immersed in water.
