The Underglaze Red Symbol Lion Lid Jar is a substantial decorative accent with a rounded, broad-shouldered profile and a removable domed lid. Its pale blue-green ground is detailed with deep blue linear motifs, stylized symbols, scrolling forms, and softly speckled accents. Small muted red details provide subtle contrast, while the sculptural lion-form finial gives the lid a distinctive focal point. Measuring 16 inches high, 13 inches wide, and 13 inches deep, the jar has enough presence to stand alone on a console, sideboard, or sturdy display pedestal. It also works well as the visual anchor in a collected arrangement with books, smaller vessels, or framed art. Allow room around the rounded body and finial so the silhouette and decorative bands remain easy to appreciate from multiple angles.

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.
