The Underglaze Red Leaf Ming Jar brings a distinctive botanical presence to a tabletop or display shelf. Its rounded body features deep blue leaves and scrolling forms across a pale blue-white ground, with a red-brown floral accent providing warm contrast. Coordinating decoration continues onto the circular lid, while warm brown detailing frames the jar’s opening. Measuring 11 inches high, 11 inches wide, and 11 inches deep, the balanced silhouette is substantial enough to stand alone without overwhelming surrounding decor. Place it on a living room console, dining room sideboard, mantel, or generously sized bookshelf. It also works well as part of a collected arrangement with books, trays, or other blue-and-white accents. Display the lid in place for a complete profile or beside the jar to highlight its coordinated design.

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.
