The Indigo Blue Fish Scale Temple Jar Large is a substantial decorative accent with a rounded baluster profile, domed lid, and compact top finial. Layered semicircular motifs sweep across the body and continue onto the lid, creating the repeating fish scale pattern in indigo blue, soft blue-gray, white, and dark outlines. A pale band at the shoulder and base gives the dense pattern a clean visual break. Measuring 21 inches high, 12 inches wide, and 12 inches deep, this large jar has enough presence to stand alone on an entry console, dining room sideboard, or living room cabinet. Pair it with restrained blue-and-white decor, dark wood furnishings, or neutral textiles to keep the detailed surface in focus. Its lidded silhouette also works well as one side of a balanced tabletop arrangement with books, lamps, or smaller decorative objects. This listing is for the large temple jar.

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.
