The Octagonal Fish Jar is a distinctive decorative vessel with a low, broad profile and softly faceted sides. Its pale blue-green ground is accented by a blue fish motif, while slender blue bands circle the shoulder and short neck. The open mouth and gently tapered base complete its balanced, sculptural silhouette. Measuring 10 inches high, 13 inches wide, and 13 inches deep, the jar has enough visual presence for a console table, sideboard, deep bookshelf, or covered mantel. Display it on its own, pair it with blue-and-white accents, or use it to anchor a collected arrangement of books and decorative objects. Its aquatic motif works especially well in traditional, Asian-inspired, coastal, and eclectic interiors. Allow adequate surface depth around the 13-inch-wide form so the octagonal shape and fish design 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.

Give a favorite piece some breathing room, then let its color echo somewhere else nearby.
