This early 20th-century jar was hand-sculpted in southern China and decorated with lion dogs and pine trees, symbols of strength and longevity. It was intended as a pickling container, used to preserve many eggs in a particular preparation. Glazed inside and out, the jar could have also been used to store water, rice, and other foods. Today, this monumental vessel makes for a fantastic planter, perfect for a young sapling or a display of lush greenery.

Elizabeth Krueger | Elizabeth Krueger Design

“PAGODA RED was extremely supportive in helping to pull accessory options together for the Lake Forest Showhouse. After providing them with details and our vision on how we were looking to finish our space, Laurene helped curate options that made it easy for us to edit and finalize. It's also no surprise that the unique pieces we used in our showhouse space were some of the first to sell.”
