What is a blush ivory jar?

A blush ivory jar is a porcelain vessel finished with a soft, matt cream glaze that serves as a background for floral decoration. This finish became popular during the late Victorian and Edwardian periods for decorative table wares.

How were pot pourri jars used?

Pot pourri jars held dried scented flower petals inside rooms to provide a continuous pleasant fragrance. Their pierced covers allowed the enclosed aromas to disperse gradually into the surrounding space.

Who painted these porcelain jars?

Specialist studio artists applied hand-painted fruit, birds, and floral studies directly onto the glazed ceramic bodies. Many of these skilled decorators signed their completed artwork near the base or on the body of the vessel.

How do I identify the period?

You can determine the period by examining the painting style, ground colour, and overarching shape of the ceramic vessel. Earlier examples often feature blush ivory grounds and Victorian silhouettes, while mid-century pieces favour painted fruit.
