Monumental Blue and White Qilin Baluster Jar

This contemporary monumental blue and white ginger jar is beautifully hand-painted with mythical qilin and embroidered balls. As emblems of magnificence and benevolence, the lively qilin soar through the field of clouds with radiant joy. Capping the jar is a shizi protector, symbolizing power and strength of character. A striking example of Chinese blue-and-white pottery, this tall lidded vase is excellent as a decorative centerpiece vessel.
