This extra-large blue and white porcelain temple jar makes a striking decorative focal point. Its rounded body features lively foo dog scenes surrounded by scrolling cloud forms, floral accents, and layered ornamental borders in rich blue. A coordinating domed lid crowned with a sculptural lion finial completes the classic silhouette. Measuring 34 inches high, 21 inches wide, and 21 inches deep, the jar has substantial presence and should be displayed with ample surrounding space. Place it on the floor beside a console, at the end of a wide hallway, in a spacious entryway, or as a balanced accent near a fireplace. Its crisp palette works especially well with traditional, chinoiserie-inspired, grandmillennial, and collected interiors. For a coordinated arrangement, pair it with other blue and white decorative pieces while allowing the detailed playing foo dog motif to remain the focus.

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.
