The Blue & White Bohai Fish Mortif Porcelain Temple Jar XL makes a commanding decorative statement with its tall silhouette and intricate cobalt blue design. Fish move through layered, stylized waves across the white porcelain body, while coordinating patterns continue onto the domed lid and pointed finial. Its classic covered-jar shape balances the lively aquatic motif with a formal, architectural presence. Measuring 36.5 inches high, 13 inches wide, and 13 inches deep, this substantial piece is well suited to floor-level display. Place it beside an entry console, near a fireplace, in a dining room corner, or at the end of a spacious hallway. It can also anchor a large pedestal or low cabinet where the full pattern remains visible. Pair it with other blue-and-white accents or let it stand alone as a strong focal point.

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.
