Defined by crisp blue decoration on a white porcelain body, this temple jar features a banana leaf motif arranged in vertical bands around its curving silhouette. Layered geometric borders accent the shoulder and neck, while the coordinating domed lid is finished with a blue-tipped finial. The botanical pattern offers strong visual detail while retaining the classic appeal of blue-and-white decor. Measuring 18 inches high, 11 inches wide, and 11 inches deep, the jar has a substantial presence suited to a console table, sideboard, credenza, or generously sized mantel. Display it alone as a focal point, pair it with other blue-and-white pieces, or incorporate it into a collected arrangement with books and decorative objects. Its balanced palette works especially well in traditional, chinoiserie-inspired, coastal, and transitional interiors.

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.
