The BW Mountaintop Temple Ginger Jar features a classic blue-and-white palette with a detailed scenic design. A mountaintop temple gateway, architectural elements, trees, figures, and distant landscape imagery wrap the rounded body, while decorative borders frame the composition. The coordinating domed lid is finished with a pointed blue finial for a distinctive silhouette. Measuring 14 inches high, 9 inches wide, and 9 inches deep, this lidded accent has enough presence to display on a living room console, dining room sideboard, mantel, or spacious bookshelf. Its balanced proportions also make it a striking centerpiece for an entry table or a refined complement to other blue-and-white decor. Display it alone to highlight the intricate scene, or pair it with coordinating vessels in varied shapes for a collected arrangement.

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.
