The Blue And White Ming Jar Butterfly pairs a rounded, lidded silhouette with layered blue decoration on a white ground. Butterflies appear among leafy stems, dotted accents, and scrolling bands, while the lower border features alternating vertical panels. A slim blue ring outlines the lid for a crisp finishing detail. Measuring 9 inches high, 9 inches wide, and 9 inches deep, the jar has a balanced profile suited to a console table, sideboard, deep bookshelf, or spacious mantel. Display it alone as a decorative focal point, or pair it with other blue-and-white objects to create a collected arrangement. Its butterfly and botanical imagery complements traditional, chinoiserie-inspired, and transitional interiors, while the compact round form also works well in a styled tabletop grouping.

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.
