The Blue And White Porcelain Peacock Lotus Temple Jar brings detailed pattern and a strong architectural silhouette to an interior. Its blue decoration depicts peacocks, lotus-inspired florals, scrolling foliage, and ornamental borders against a crisp white ground. A coordinating domed lid with a pointed finial completes the classic temple jar form. Measuring 11 inches wide, 11 inches deep, and 19 inches high, it has a substantial presence without requiring floor placement. Display it alone on a console table, sideboard, or fireplace mantel, or incorporate it into a balanced arrangement on spacious built-in shelving. It also makes a polished focal point in an entryway, living room, dining room, bedroom, or home office. The curved body and layered motifs offer visual interest from across the room as well as at closer range.

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.
