These elegant porcelain baluster jars are distinct for their wonderfully sculptural shape, defined by a rounded body that tapers gracefully to a narrow, flared base. The pair is decorated with overglaze enamels in the famille verte style, using a palette of emerald greens, rich earth tones, and dusty pinks.

The sides are intricately painted with branches laden with blossoms and ripe pomegranates, contrasted by a white field. The pomegranates are split open to reveal a bounty of seeds, a motif symbolizing a wish for a large family of 'one hundred sons.' Bands of scale-work ring the neck and base with deep turquoise-green color. The domed lids are topped by teardrop-shaped knobs and painted with clusters of chrysanthemums, symbols of autumn and longevity.

“Over the years, I’ve incorporated many pieces from PAGODA RED into my designs. Not only can they balance new furnishings (and often new construction) by feeling more established, but the pieces emanate a sense of rich history, often leaving you wondering where they were in a previous life. These beautiful pieces carefully hand-selected by the team at PAGODA RED, coupled with their unbelievable customer service, make them a must-have for any home.”
