Square forms are harder to build than round ones, since each wall must be joined and dried without warping, and Legend of Asia makes that effort the point of this handmade jar. Four flat panels give it an architectural silhouette, and a striding dragon motif fills every face in confident brushwork, so the piece delivers bold chinoiserie decor from any angle. Each side of the square jar is hand painted separately, meaning no two dragons match exactly. High fire porcelain from the southern Chinese town where ceramic first began leaves the porcelain jar dense, glassy and waterproof for indoor or covered outdoor use. Twelve inches tall, the decorative jar fits shelf decor or a bar cart, and the lidded jar still works as a tea jar for loose leaf or asian decor storage.
