Hand-Painted Hexagonal Porcelain Jar with Lid
Form & Construction:
• This is a hexagonal porcelain jar with a matching lid, crafted in a traditional Chinese style.
• The interior is unglazed, with visible firing marks and discoloration from age or wear.
• The lid fits snugly and is also hexagonal, continuing the design seamlessly around the body.
Design & Decoration:
• Surface: Hand-painted floral and fruit motifs surround the body of the jar—featuring grapes, pomegranates, berries, and blooming flowers.
• Accents: The piece is adorned with gold highlights, particularly in the banding near the rim and in the ornate cartouches framing motifs like butterflies and foliage.
• Palette: The colors include rich reds, greens, and blues, balanced by gold accents and a glazed white background.
Markings (Base):
• Red stamped mark reads:
• “FOR DECORATIVE USE ONLY. NOT FOR FOOD USE. ITEM MAY POISON FOOD”
• This warning is typical of certain 20th-century export ceramics that used lead-based or non-food-safe glazes.
• Below that is a red square chop mark, which is stylized Chinese script—likely the studio or workshop mark, though not directly traceable to a major kiln.
Origin & Era:
• Made in China, likely in the late 20th century (1970s–1990s), produced for decorative export.
• The style is inspired by famille rose and Qing dynasty porcelain, but this is a reproduction or decorative homage
This would make a lovely decorative accent for a bookshelf, vanity
