Six flat facets give this Legend of Asia tea jar its character, wrapping the body from foot to lid so each face catches light at a different angle. Without painted scenes to interpret, the eye follows the crisp edges instead, and the clean white porcelain glaze keeps every facet line legible. Compactly scaled, the hexagonal jar suits a bookshelf, nightstand or bath counter, small enough to layer yet substantial enough not to disappear. Each panel is shaped by hand in a southern Chinese pottery town, so widths differ before high firing leaves the porcelain jar dense and waterproof. Use the lidded jar for tea or keepsakes, display the decorative jar closed as sculpture, or set it beside a painted ginger jar in shelf decor and asian decor arrangements.
