The Blue & White Porcelain Foo Dog Temple Jar makes a striking decorative statement with its classic lidded silhouette and detailed cobalt-blue imagery. Foo dog figures and stylized cloud motifs wrap around the white porcelain body, while coordinating decoration continues across the domed lid. A pointed blue finial completes the design. Measuring 21 inches high, 12 inches wide, and 12 inches deep, this substantial jar is well suited to a spacious console, sideboard, mantel, or display cabinet. Its balanced palette works naturally with traditional, chinoiserie-inspired, and collected interiors. Display it alone as a focal point, pair it with other blue-and-white porcelain, or place it opposite a lamp or decorative object for a composed arrangement. The tall profile also brings visual interest to an entryway, dining room, living room, or study.

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.
