The White Open Top Porcelain Melon Jar brings a clean, sculptural presence to an interior. Measuring 12 inches wide, 12 inches high, and 12 inches deep, its rounded body is balanced by a wide open mouth and low cylindrical rim. The solid white surface keeps the silhouette versatile, while the gently curved form adds visual depth. Display this porcelain jar on its own as an accent on a console, sideboard, or generously sized shelf. Its balanced proportions also suit a dining table, coffee table, or entryway vignette with adequate clearance around the 12-inch form. The open top can hold dried or artificial botanicals; use a suitable watertight liner for fresh arrangements. Pair it with natural wood, dark furniture, neutral interiors, or blue-and-white decor for a composed, layered setting.

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.
