Chinese blue-and-white porcelain has inspired ceramists worldwide since cobalt was first introduced to China from the Middle East thousands of years ago. This contemporary example of a traditional ginger jar was artisan made in Jiangxi province. Carefully painted in tones that range from saturated blues to delicate washes, the jar is lavishly embellished with floral motifs and a central illustration of a group of scholars, cultured artists and other literati of the time, making their way through a garden. The jar’s lid is topped with a shizi dog, a symbol of protection.

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.”
