This early 20th century covered jar takes its rounded shape from serving tureens used to serve soups and stews. Contrasted by a crisp white field, the lid and sides are decorated with a joyous garden scene. Butterflies and cicadas flit between blossoms, symbols of happiness, and two magpies rest amid flowering plum branches, a blessing of good fortune and martial happiness. A celebration of life and color, the enameled tureen makes for a lovely accent to a bookcase or console table.

A twisted wire handle on the lid replaces the lost original.
