The Indigo Porcelain Kwanyin Vase Magpie On Treetop presents a striking blue-and-white focal point in a generously scaled silhouette. Its rounded body, gently tapered base, and short cylindrical neck are decorated with a dark indigo scene of a magpie perched among branching treetops. Subtle tonal variation across the pale ground gives the design added visual depth, while understated bands frame the neck and base. Measuring 27 inches high, 18 inches wide, and 18 inches deep, this substantial porcelain vase is designed for prominent display. Place it on a sturdy console, a deep sideboard, or a pedestal with sufficient surface area, or display it on the floor in an open entryway or living room corner. Style it alone so the scenic motif remains the focus, or pair it with complementary blue-and-white decor 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.
