This small porcelain temple jar brings crisp blue-and-white pattern to a shelf, console, or tabletop. Its rounded baluster silhouette is finished with a domed lid and pointed finial, while layered geometric and scrolling borders frame the body. The central scene features fish swimming among lotus blossoms and broad leaves, rendered in varied blue tones against a white ground. Measuring 15 inches high, 9 inches wide, and 9 inches deep, the jar has enough presence to stand alone without overwhelming a compact surface. Display it on an entry console, living room sideboard, dining room buffet, or a substantial bookcase shelf. It also works well in a balanced arrangement with books, lamps, or other blue-and-white decor. The combination of aquatic imagery, floral detail, and classic temple-jar form suits traditional, Chinoiserie-inspired, and collected 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.
