The Brown Porcelain Hong Wu Flaring Rim Jar brings detailed, graphic character to a room through its expressive dragon motif. Brown linework defines the dragon, cloud forms, and scrolling borders against a pale porcelain ground, while subtle surface variation contributes to its collected appearance. The rounded body narrows toward a raised base and is finished with a distinctive flaring rim. Measuring 17 inches high, 12 inches wide, and 12 inches deep, this decorative jar has enough presence to display on its own without overwhelming surrounding furnishings. Place it at the center of a console table, on a substantial mantel, or atop a sideboard in a dining room or entryway. It also works well as part of a curated display with books, framed artwork, or other neutral-toned objects. Its brown-and-ivory palette complements traditional, eclectic, and globally inspired 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.
