This is a large, high quality porcelain blue and white Balaster Temple Jar / Ginger Jar decorated with a scene of Deities. This is considered a foot stomp process on the porcelain, which gives it the rich Indigo and bone patina. This is a balaster shape with a heavy lid that comes topped with a large decorative foo dog. This makes it possible to string a tassel through to tie in the front. This would looks amazing with your other blue and white pottery / ceramics. This can be used anywhere as a jar accent or a vase. Each of these jars are hand painted, so no two are exactly alike and they range in size between 17.75 and 19 inches. These are new, but antiqued condition. These jars are roughhewn in design, and they have an antiqued patina. Some of the lids and finials will show intentional chips as if they are antique. This is an intentional design, but they are beautiful!
