This hexagonal Chinese export jar from around 1950 has the quiet confidence of an object that knows exactly what it is: a beautifully proportioned little pot covered in blue-and-white birds darting through dense foliage, with a flat hexagonal lid that fits just so and a craquelé glaze on the interior that tells you it's been around long enough to have opinions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe decoration is transfer-printed in the classic Chinese export style — swallows in flight between branches of round-leafed foliage, the whole pattern wrapping continuously around all six facets without a break. The lid carries a single bird in flight at the centre, surrounded by the same leafy branches. The top rim of the body has a ring of small blue floral clusters, and the interior of the lid shows a lovely star-shaped craquelé pattern — the kind of detail that only reveals itself when you pick it up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo backstamp — typical of Chinese export porcelain of this period. The base is unglazed with the characteristic hexagonal foot ring. Use it for cotton buds, rings, a single flower, or simply as a beautiful object that earns its place on any shelf it lands on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChinese export porcelain, hexagonal storage jar with lid, c.1950\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlue \u0026amp; white transfer-printed birds and foliage decoration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContinuous all-over pattern across all six facets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle bird motif on lid; floral ring on top rim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterior lid shows star-pattern craquelé glaze — authentic age characteristic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo backstamp — typical of Chinese export ware of this period\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGood vintage condition — no chips or cracks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e14 × 9 cm, 327 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChina, c.1950\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWARNING: This jar is small enough to go anywhere and pretty enough that you'll spend ten minutes deciding where.
