The Playing Foo Dogs Temple Jar makes a striking decorative focal point with its crisp blue-and-white palette and detailed scenic pattern. Animated foo dogs appear among stylized clouds and scrolling forms across the rounded body, while a geometric lattice border defines the base. Coordinating motifs continue onto the shoulder and domed lid, which is finished with a blue-tipped finial. The jar’s balanced silhouette and layered decoration offer visual interest from across the room as well as close up. Measuring 19 inches high, 12 inches wide, and 12 inches deep, it has a substantial presence suited to a spacious console, sideboard, mantel, or large tabletop. Display it alone as a statement piece, pair it with other blue-and-white decor, or incorporate it into a collected arrangement with books, trays, and simple greenery.

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.
