The Black Peony Open Mouth Porcelain Urn presents a bold monochrome interpretation of a classic decorative vessel. Its rounded body features a light ground with black peony blossoms, curling vine-like scrolls, fine linear details, and a vertically striped border near the base. Simple bands frame the open mouth, balancing the richly patterned surface. Measuring 13 inches wide, 13 inches deep, and 16 inches high, this substantial porcelain urn works well as a focal piece on a deep console table, sideboard, or entry cabinet. Display it empty to emphasize the silhouette, or pair it with decorative stems suited to the opening. The black-and-white palette coordinates easily with traditional, eclectic, and collected interiors. Allow adequate tabletop depth and overhead clearance so the broad form and allover floral motif remain fully visible.

Behind the form

It begins in the hands.

Before a piece is painted, its shape gives it character: the shoulder of a jar, the edge of a planter, the balance of a vase. The porcelain traditions behind our collection bring together forming, hand-painted detail, glazing, and firing.

A closer look

Notice how the painted line follows the form, and how the glaze catches the light.

At home with porcelain

A place for the details to live.

We like porcelain best when it feels part of everyday life, not set apart from it. A lamp can warm a reading corner; a jar can hold its own on a console. Blue-and-white pattern feels especially at ease beside wood, linen, and a little open space.

A room note

Give a favorite piece some breathing room, then let its color echo somewhere else nearby.
