Large Blue and White Tea Leaf Jar with Mountain Landscape

About the Item

Tea drinking has been an important part of Chinese culture for at least a thousand years. Emulating traditional blue-and-white porcelain, this contemporary tea leaf jar beautifully captures the timeless allure of cobalt blue on creamy white porcelain. The hand painted decorations include verdant flower and vine motifs as well as encapsulated landscapes painted in the traditional "shan shui" manner with delicate, feathery brushstrokes.
