The Blue & White Porcelain Ming Pear-shaped Vase presents the traditional pine, bamboo and plum motif in a crisp blue-and-white palette. Its rounded pear-shaped body rises to a slender neck with a flared rim, while layered botanical scenes and decorative borders create visual interest from top to base. Measuring 23 inches high, 15 inches wide and 15 inches deep, this substantial vase works best where its silhouette and detailed pattern can be appreciated. Display it on a sturdy entry console, broad living room cabinet or dining room buffet, or feature it alone on a secure pedestal. The balanced palette coordinates naturally with warm wood, lacquered surfaces and neutral interiors. Style it as an unfilled decorative object to keep the full motif visible and make the vase a focused part of the room.

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.
