There is a bubbly glossy glaze in the interior, which is common for newer kiln firing. Furthermore, the sketching on the panels is loose and a bit inky which is indicative of it being a copy. There are some slight chips on the bottoms due to wear. Still in all, the jars are highly decorative and useful. We will be happy to provide additional close-up images upon request. less

Tea is an important staple of Chinese culture. Tea jars or tea caddies can be found in many Chinese households. These rectangular porcelain tea jar feature cobalt blue sketches of a coastal landscape. Mountains and birds dot the skyline, giving the landscape an earthly feel. Each panel features a classic Chinese village scene with prominent willow trees and clusters of homes. In China, the willow tree symbolizes immortality and rebirth. Many of the figures are participating in some form of fishing, whether that’s with a rod, a net, or even on a boat. This daily activity demonstrated the harmony between humanity and nature in Chinese culture. Decorative flowers grace the borders as well as the top of the vase. On the front of one of the panels, are Chinese symbols that represent the Kangxi emperor. The lid mimics the panels’ imagery, pulling the entire design together. Overall, these jars exude a sense of peacefulness and tranquility and would look lovely in any room as decorative items or for daily use. Each tea jar weighs approximately 11 lbs. less
