Indigo and White Scroll Jar

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.
