This large glazed jar was hand-crafted in China's Shanxi province over a century ago and was originally used for pickling food. Masterfully sculpted, the jar is patterned in relief with a series of floral medallions, featuring sprays of chrysanthemums, peach blossoms and orchids. A textured trim of scalloped and bead-like motifs border the jar's lip, encircled by a pattern of archaistic dragons, symbols of power and strength. The rim is left unglazed, the exposed ceramic set in beautiful contrast with the rich brown glaze that drips and pools down the jar's sides. Today, the monumental pot lives on as a statement planter or fish pond, ideal indoors or out.

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.”
