The Green Gilt Parrot Temple Jar brings an expressive avian and botanical motif to a classic decorative form. Against a softly mottled green ground, a pale parrot perches among branching stems, slender leaves, pink blossoms, and colorful buds. Fine outlines and gilt accents give the detailed scene a refined, layered appearance, while the subdued palette makes it easy to coordinate with traditional, chinoiserie-inspired, and collected interiors. Measuring 18 inches high, 9 inches wide, and 9 inches deep, this temple jar has enough presence to stand alone without overwhelming a tabletop. Display it on a living room console, dining room sideboard, entry cabinet, or generously sized mantel. It can also anchor a styled bookshelf or pair visually with other decorative vessels, framed art, and botanical accents.

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.
