The Blue And White Peony Melon Jar pairs a deep blue ground with a detailed white floral design. Layered peony blossoms, leafy vines and small bird accents wrap around its rounded body, creating a richly patterned look from every angle. A coordinating lid with a pointed finial completes the balanced silhouette. Measuring 13 inches high, 11 inches wide and 11 inches deep, this decorative jar has enough presence to stand alone while remaining easy to incorporate into a collected display. Place it on a living room console, dining room sideboard or spacious entry table. It can also anchor a bookshelf arrangement or pair with other blue-and-white accents on a cabinet. The classic color palette works especially well with traditional, chinoiserie-inspired and layered transitional 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.
