The Blue And White Ancient People Lidded Jar brings detailed figural artwork and a classic blue-and-white palette to a decorative display. Its cylindrical body features blue scenes of robed figures surrounded by trees, plants, and cloud-like flourishes on a softly varied cream-toned ground. Coordinating scrollwork and ornamental borders accent the shoulder and removable-looking lid, which is topped with a pointed finial. Measuring 14 inches high, 8 inches wide, and 8 inches deep, the jar has enough presence to stand alone while remaining easy to incorporate into a layered arrangement. Place it on a living room console, dining room sideboard, study bookcase, or covered entry table. It can also be styled with art books, a table lamp, or other blue-and-white accents for a collected, cohesive presentation.

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.
