    This pair of large blue and white hexagonal jars have a great presence.

    The peonies are decorated all around the body of the jars, with a denser blue decoration on the shoulders complementing the more open design on the main body and creating a sense of balance and harmony.
    The delicate covers are pierced, adding visual interest to the design. In addition, the piercings allow potpourri placed within the jars to infuse a room with a delightful aroma.
    The handles are formed as stylized foo lions decorated deep cobalt blue with gilt highlights.
    Despite being lightly used, the jars are in very good condition, showing slight signs of wear, such as minor scratches or cosmetic wear. The gilding shows some wear which enhances the antique feel of the jars

  • Blue and White Pearled Creamware Sugar Box or Sucrier Made England Circa 1820

    $280.00

    This lovely blue and white pearlware pottery sugar box is decorated with three beautiful patterns of leaves and berries. The body, the top edge around the cover, and the cover each have a similar but slightly different pattern. The edge of the sugar box has a precise machine-turned ridge which adds an exciting detail to the form. Made in England in the early 19th century, circa 1820, the cobalt blue decoration was applied by hand using a stencil. Because the colors were applied by hand, each design is slightly different, especially in the intensity of the blue.

    Dimensions: 5″ tall x 4.65″ in diameter

    Condition: Excellent

    We have a similar sugar box available.
