About the Item

This exquisite lidded vessel is a fine example of East Asian blue-and-white porcelain, distinguished by its delicate hand-painted motifs and sculptural lid. The body is adorned with a landscape scene rendered in underglaze cobalt blue, featuring mountains, trees, and traditional architecture—a visual homage to the harmony between nature and human habitation. The vessel stands on three small feet, elevating it slightly and adding a sense of refinement and balance. Geometric borders frame the landscape, providing contrast and structure to the organic imagery. The lid is crowned with a sculptural finial depicting two birds in repose, possibly doves or sparrows, symbolizing peace, fidelity, or companionship—motifs deeply rooted in East Asian decorative traditions. The birds are rendered with gentle curves and subtle detailing, adding a tactile and symbolic flourish to the piece. The decoration is executed in underglaze blue, a technique perfected in Chinese porcelain during the Yuan and Ming dynasties and widely adopted across East Asia. The vessel’s form and motifs suggest it may have served as a cosmetic jar, incense container, or scholar’s desk accessory, blending utility with aesthetic pleasure. It is in wonderful condition. Free of chips and cracks. Has crazing that is consistent with age.
