Chinese Indigo Blue and White Scroll Jar

About the Item

This charming blue and white scroll jar speaks to an era and way of life long gone. With unique scale and a wide mouth, this contemporary jar resembles the vessels used to store and display painted scrolls in a Qing dynasty scholar's studio. The detailed scenes that decorate the jar paint a romantic picture of this moment in time. Framed by billowing clouds, a man rides a horse through rocky terrain, two men carry goods to market using balanced yokes, and an artist scholar sits at his desk in a courtyard home.
