Squat, broad shouldered and topped with a flat cover, this Legend of Asia rice jar takes its shape from the storage vessels of Chinese country kitchens. The lidded jar is built from high fire porcelain, hand shaped and hand painted with a flowing floral motif, then finished with a specialist antique process that leaves soft crazing and gentle distress across the blue white glaze. The result looks like a found ginger jar rather than a new reproduction, and the deliberately imperfect squared body is part of its charm. Compact and neatly proportioned, the porcelain jar tucks under a wall cabinet with room to spare, making practical kitchen decor for tea, salt or utensils and an easy, elegant entry into chinoiserie decor.
I love blue and white and these are perfect for my collection. Linda. Arlington, TX. Sat Jan 05 2019
