Designed to store tea leaves, this jar is nonetheless a stunning example of blue and white porcelain. Surrounded by peonies and chrysanthemum blossoms, two phoenixes sit perched upon a rocky outcropping. The pair's plumage suggests that one is male and one is female, a coupling that symbolizes love, affection, and romantic companionship. Framing this loving scene is a ring of stylized ruyi, Buddhist ceremonial scepters and talismans of good fortune.

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.”
