The Blue & White Hexagonal Floral Bird Medallion Porcelain Temple Jar brings detailed pattern and a commanding silhouette to an interior. Its faceted body features alternating scenes of birds, floral motifs, geometric latticework and scrolling ornament in rich blue against a white ground. Coordinating decorative bands continue around the shoulders, base and domed lid, which is finished with a sculptural blue finial. Measuring 24 inches high, 13 inches wide and 12 inches deep, this substantial covered jar works best where its full profile can be appreciated. Place it on a broad console table, dining room sideboard or low cabinet, either displayed alone or balanced with complementary blue-and-white accents. Its crisp palette and layered design suit traditional, chinoiserie-inspired and collected interiors. Intended as a decorative object, it creates a distinctive focal point without requiring additional styling.

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.
