The Indigo Porcelain Temple Jar Magpie on Plum Motif Small brings a graceful botanical and bird composition to a classic decorative form. Indigo-toned magpies perch among sweeping plum branches, buds, and blossoms across the pale porcelain surface, with coordinating decoration on the domed lid. The rounded body, defined shoulder, and raised lid finial create a balanced silhouette that displays beautifully from every angle. Measuring 18 inches high, 10 inches wide, and 10 inches deep, this lidded jar has a substantial presence while remaining versatile for home styling. Display it alone on an entry console, living room cabinet, dining room sideboard, or covered bedroom dresser. It can also anchor one side of a mantel or join other blue-and-white accents in a collected arrangement. Its detailed motif suits traditional, Asian-inspired, transitional, and grandmillennial interiors.

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.
