The Blue & White Brown Magpie on Plum Tree Porcelain Jar features a rounded silhouette with broad shoulders, a short neck, and a gently flared rim. Across the pale blue-white ground, a brown magpie perches among expressive plum tree branches dotted with blossoms. Deep blue accents define the trunk and ornamental scrollwork around the neck, while brown and black details bring contrast to the botanical scene. Measuring 17 inches high, 14 inches wide, and 14 inches deep, this substantial decorative jar is well suited to a sideboard, deep console, dining room cabinet, or sturdy pedestal. Display it alone as a focal point or coordinate it with other blue-and-white porcelain pieces. Its bird-and-branch motif works especially well in traditional, Chinoiserie-inspired, and collected interiors.

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.
