Pattern this simple travels well between styles. Legend of Asia repeats concentric circle medallions in saturated indigo blue across a pale ground, giving this temple jar a graphic rhythm that suits a minimal modern room as comfortably as a paneled traditional one. It is chinoiserie decor stripped to its geometry. Each jar is thrown and hand painted in southern China, the historic capital of ceramic, so circle spacing and glaze depth vary from piece to piece. High firing leaves the porcelain jar dense, glassy and fully waterproof, ready for a covered porch as well as a library shelf. Eighteen inches tall with its domed lid, this ginger jar anchors mantel decor beside tall lamps, serves as home decor storage for keepsakes, and makes a lasting asian decor gift as a lidded jar for weddings.
I loved this jar. I purchased this along with the matching smaller round jar and they look great together. The round ring design on the jar allows it work well in a contemporary area as well.. Tracy. Springfield, MO. Fri Feb 17 2023
