The Blue and White Porcelain Oval Fruit Jar with Lid from Legend of Asia carries one of the most enduring decorative traditions in ceramics. Cobalt brushwork covers the body of this fruit jar with blossoms, ripening fruit and scrolling vines, painted freehand so every piece differs slightly. The softly flattened oval jar shape gives it a slimmer profile than a standard ginger jar, which makes this lidded jar easy to place against a wall, on a narrow ledge, or as shelf decor between stacked books. High fired in southern China until the porcelain jar body is dense and sealed, it is fully waterproof and weatherproof. As a blue vase it brings classic blue white color to a mantel, and as a small statement piece it anchors chinoiserie decor and layered asian decor.
