The Blue & White Plum Melon Jar brings a richly patterned focal point to a shelf, console, or tabletop. Its rounded, gently faceted melon silhouette features a coordinating domed lid and small pointed finial. A deep cobalt-blue ground sets off a white flowering plum branch motif that travels across the body, while decorative rings continue around the lid. Measuring 11 inches high, 11 inches wide, and 11 inches deep, the jar has a balanced, substantial profile without requiring a tall display area. Style it on an entry console, living room sideboard, dining room buffet, or spacious bookcase shelf. It also works well at the center of a collected blue-and-white arrangement or as a single decorative accent against warm wood, pale neutrals, or saturated color. For visual balance, pair it with lower objects such as stacked books or a small tray, allowing the rounded form and crisp palette to remain prominent.

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.
