A late Qing Dynasty blue and white porcelain lidded jar from the early 20th century with dragon motifs. This blue and white porcelain jar exudes timeless elegance with its intricately hand-painted design, featuring a dynamic dragon encircled by swirling clouds and cresting waves. Accented by a domed lid crowned with a foo dog finial and flanked by lion-mask handles, this jar is steeped in traditional Chinese symbolism. Dragons represent strength and prosperity, while the swirling clouds and waves evoke harmony and balance, creating a piece rich in meaning and artistry.
The jar's very subtle greenish undertone, visible in the glaze, adds depth and character to its classic blue and white palette, a hallmark of refined Chinese porcelain. Its balanced proportions and detailed craftsmanship make it a versatile addition to any space.
Use this piece as a focal point on a console or sideboard to anchor a living or dining area, or position it on a pedestal to draw the eye upward. Its lidded form makes it equally functional for storage or display, while its bold motifs pair beautifully with both traditional and contemporary decor. Perfect for enhancing an entryway or adding visual interest to a mantel, this jar effortlessly combines cultural heritage with decorative appeal, making it an heirloom-worthy addition to your collection. The opening is 5.5" diameter.
