Gold-plated orchid pot costs more than 1.6 billion VND in Bac Giang
At a Tet orchid stall in Bac Giang city, an orchid pot with nearly 1,000 flower branches and 24k gold plated is on sale for more than 1.6 billion VND, attracting the attention of customers.
According to Tien Phong Newspaper, this orchid pot has nearly 1000 orchid branches with 3 colors: white, purple, yellow. The orchids in the pot are imported from Da Lat.
Mr. Pham Van Huy, the owner of the gold-plated orchid pot, said that this orchid pot was plated with 24k gold, about 5-6 taels of gold. He had to hire a team of workers to plant the orchid pot for 1 day and 2 people to plate the pot with gold for 12 hours.
According to the stall owner, this is considered the most expensive orchid pot in Bac Giang province.
Mr. Huy shared that since being displayed at the booth, the gold-plated orchid pot has attracted the attention of many people. A customer from Bac Giang negotiated with him to buy this orchid pot. The customer wanted to buy this orchid pot to display at their ancestral shrine.
However, the customer asked Mr. Huy to use a higher quality gold than the 24k gold used on the orchid pot.
“Customer requests for other types of gold plating are difficult for me to meet at this time. Therefore, the gold-plated orchid pot worth more than 1.6 billion VND has not yet found a buyer. This Tet holiday, I made a billion-VND orchid pot to test the market for next year,” said Mr. Huy.
