The design is inspired by 17th-century Qing Dynasty pieces and includes a Shunzhi reign mark used decoratively on porcelain of this era. The effect is dramatic and elegant, with neat vertical lines of script wrapping the entire body of the jar and a matching circular script motif on the domed lid. Brass trim at both the shoulder and the base gives the piece a refined, finished look and adds a touch of polished detail. The deep-blue finial and rim banding provide a bold contrast against the warm, softly aged crackle pattern, tying the entire piece together. At 14 inches tall, this is a substantial display jar that makes a statement on a console, sideboard, or entryway. The classic blue-and-white palette blends easily with chinoiserie, traditional, eclectic, or modern interiors. See less
