Instead of a plain round body, this jar is molded into a plump, segmented pumpkin / melon form, finished with a small stem-shaped finial on the lid. It is the kind of silhouette that reads as “decorative object” even before you notice the painting.
The glaze and painting
- Cream crackle-glaze ground — a softly aged, finely crazed ivory surface inspired by classic Chinese crackle ware.
- Blue and white figures — ancient Chinese ladies and immortals in reserved panels, holding lotus and other treasures, rendered in cobalt blue.
- Balanced proportions — 12 cm tall, 18 cm at its widest, with a generous 9 cm opening and a practical 1.2 L capacity.
Why you’ll love it
- A real storage jar, not just a paperweight — 1.2 L holds loose-leaf tea, coffee beans, cookies, candy, or dried herbs in a jar that looks far nicer than a plain tin.
- Decorative on its own — the pumpkin silhouette and crackle glaze make it a natural centerpiece on a coffee table, bookshelf, or kitchen counter.
- Chinoiserie friendly — pairs effortlessly with blue-and-white tableware, rattan, brass, and natural wood tones.
- A meaningful gift — for tea lovers, new homeowners, or anyone building a collected, worldly interior.
