The Moka Peony Foo Dog Lid Jar brings expressive pattern and sculptural detail to a classic rounded silhouette. Set against a pale blue-green ground, large white peony blossoms and winding foliage are outlined in warm reddish-brown tones. Coordinating decoration continues across the domed lid, which is crowned by a small foo dog finial for a distinctive finishing detail. Measuring 17 inches high, 12 inches wide, and 12 inches deep, the jar has a substantial decorative presence without requiring floor space. Display it on a broad entry console, dining room sideboard, living room cabinet, or generously sized center table. Its balanced form and botanical motif work especially well as a standalone focal point, while the soft ground color makes it easy to coordinate with warm wood, neutral upholstery, and collected 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.
