About the Item
This distinctive pair of dragon temple jars is worth collecting. The blue pattern and design on black ground of dragons are characteristic of the jars, which originated in East Asian temples. This pair bears the traditional auspicious dragons which are repeated three times in a yellow and a blue background within medallions around the outside of the jars. The dome lids include miniature painted dragons.
This pair of jars is from an estate sale auction and would be stunning on a console table or a mantel piece. Traditional motifs include floral patterns, landscapes, and other mythical creatures, and symbols such as phoenixes.
Centuries ago, the jars were often placed on altars or in designated areas within a temple. Over time, temple jars became popular as decorative objects and were also used for practical purposes in homes. This antique set of Chinese temple jars stands 20 inches tall.
