Bamboo stands for resilience in Chinese design, and Legend of Asia works that idea into the clay itself: raised joints ring the body of this round tea jar while a painted bamboo motif climbs the shoulder in cobalt. The result is chinoiserie decor with texture you feel as well as see. The shape follows the traditional vessel once used to keep loose leaf fresh, and a fitted lid still does that job. Each jar is thrown and hand painted by artisans in southern China, so ridge spacing and brushwork vary slightly. High fire porcelain makes the porcelain jar dense, chip resistant and waterproof, indoors or under cover outside. Fourteen inches tall, this blue white lidded jar suits shelf decor, a bar cart, or a kitchen counter as everyday asian decor and a ginger jar accent.
