The Extra Large Dynasty Porcelain Temple Jar is a commanding blue-and-white accent featuring an intricate phoenix and peony motif. Detailed scenic imagery wraps the rounded body, while floral scroll borders define the base, shoulder, and domed lid. A pointed finial completes its classic temple jar silhouette. Measuring 30 inches high, 15 inches wide, and 15 inches deep, this substantial piece is suited to spaces where its height and detailed decoration can be fully appreciated. Display it on an entryway floor, beside a fireplace, or atop a broad, low cabinet or console. It can stand alone as a focal point or coordinate with other blue-and-white porcelain accents. The traditional palette works especially well in formal living rooms, dining rooms, studies, 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.
