These blue and white temple jars carry the shuangxi — the double happiness symbol — at their center, a character formed by joining two xi (joy) together into one. It is one of the oldest and most auspicious symbols in Chinese decorative tradition, most commonly appearing on jars exactly like these. Surrounded by scrolling sweet pea vines that carry their own meaning: many children, and forever. A piece you give at a wedding. A piece that stays in a family.
The cobalt blue is deep and saturated against crisp white, the domed lids are topped with solid cobalt finials, and each jar sits on a carved wood riser that adds both height and warmth. The scrolling vine covers the entire body with the kind of all-over density that rewards a close look — there is always more to see.
Two available. 18” with riser. 16.5” without riser. One riser has minor scuffs, noted. No chips or cracks on either jars. Wood risers included. Sold individually or as a pair.
Tucked inside every set, a little something for first time Tavola customers — a hand-finished vintage passport notebook. Note the piece, the moment, the person you gave it to. One day these pieces will sit in someone else's hands — and they'll know it came from yours.
