The Indigo Porcelain Magpie On Plum Treetop Temple Jar brings a classic blue-and-white focal point to an interior. Its curving porcelain body is decorated with dark indigo magpies perched among flowering plum branches, while coordinating borders accent the shoulder and domed lid. A pale blue rim at the base adds a subtle finishing note to the crisp palette. Measuring 21 inches high, 13 inches wide, and 13 inches deep, this substantial lidded jar works well where its detailed scene can be appreciated. Display it alone on a wide entry console, sideboard, or living room cabinet, or place it on a pedestal for a more formal presentation. The balanced silhouette and scenic motif complement traditional, chinoiserie-inspired, and collected interiors. Allow adequate surface depth and open space around the jar so the branchwork, birds, and sculptural profile remain clearly 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.
