The Silla longevity jar from Legend of Asia bands traditional longevity symbols around the shoulder in cobalt, above a full body that tapers gently to a broad foot. What sets this decorative jar apart is the wide mouth, an open neck that accepts loose garden arrangements and branching stems that a narrow collar would crush. The porcelain jar anchors a console, a hall chest or a hearth, and pairs well with lamps of similar height. Hand shaped and hand painted, then fired at high heat, the blue white pattern varies subtly from piece to piece and the glaze is hard, glossy and water proof. Use it as a working flower vase for hydrangea, as mantel decor when empty, or as a temple jar within a wider chinoiserie decor and asian decor scheme.
