Know before you buy
The motif features bamboo, plum, and pine, which are collectively known as the 'Three Friends of Winter' in traditional Chinese art. They symbolize resilience, perseverance, and longevity because these plants remain vibrant even in cold weather.
The lid is designed to sit securely on the jar but is not airtight. It is best suited for storing dry items like tea leaves, trinkets, or as a standalone decorative piece.
You can clean the jar by gently hand-washing it with mild soap and warm water. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals to preserve the finish of the blue and white glaze.
This jar features a traditional high-gloss porcelain glaze, which gives it a smooth, reflective surface consistent with classic Jingdezhen-style ceramics.
The base of the jar is finished porcelain. If you plan to place it on a delicate surface like a glass or wooden table, we recommend using a small felt pad or coaster to prevent scratching.
