An elegant vintage porcelain baluster form ginger jar by Mottahedeh, featuring a beautifully detailed Asian figural scene rendered in warm iron-red/orange against crisp white porcelain.
The front depicts the motif: Encre de Chine / Iron Red "Madonna and Child", executed with wonderful fine-line detail reminiscent of antique Chinese export porcelain. A delicate floral and leaf border encircles the domed lid, which is finished with a classic pointed finial.
The simplicity of the two-color palette gives this piece a particularly sophisticated look. It would be beautiful displayed on a mantel, bookshelf or console and mixes effortlessly with blue and white porcelain, Rose Medallion, brass, and other collected chinoiserie pieces.
At 11 inches tall, it is substantial enough to stand alone while still being an easy size to incorporate into a layered collection.
