This blue and white porcelain planter from Legend of Asia frames a peony motif in flowing cobalt brushwork, with a small bird perched among the blossoms. The peony has stood for prosperity and honor in Chinese art for centuries. Fired at high heat and hand painted by artisans in southern China, the glaze has the hard, luminous surface collectors look for in true chinoiserie decor. The piece works as a cachepot for orchids and ferns, an indoor planter for a sunny windowsill, or a decorative flower pot on a kitchen counter. Because it is water proof and weather proof, it can also move to a covered porch for the season. The blue white palette pairs naturally with ginger jar groupings, lamps and framed prints, making it easy to fold into existing asian decor or a more traditional room scheme.
