The Indigo Blue Floating Cloud Gourd Porcelain Vase pairs a rounded, double-gourd silhouette with scattered cloud motifs across a white ground. Indigo blue and soft gray details vary in scale around the body and neck, while a slim dark rim defines the open top. Measuring 14 inches wide, 14 inches deep, and 21 inches high, this substantial vase is suited to a spacious entry console, dining room sideboard, living room cabinet, or sturdy pedestal. Display it alone as a sculptural focal point, or pair it with suitably scaled dried or faux branches. Its balanced form and blue-and-white palette work especially well with traditional, transitional, and Chinoiserie-inspired interiors. Allow enough surface depth and visual breathing room around the 14-inch-wide body so the curved profile and floating cloud pattern remain fully visible.

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.
