Bordered by a simple meander at the neck, the jar is decorated with a dense pattern of orchid blossoms and trailing vines. On each side of the jar, the intricate decorations swirl around a central "double happiness" character, a traditional symbol of marriage and conjugal bliss.
Bought in China in the 1990s and includes certificate of authenticity.

Price is for one Temple Jar. Two available. See less
