Pattern & Surface Character

The collection moves between deep indigo grounds and pale blue-white surfaces, using floral, scroll and dotted motifs to create a layered, collected look. The Star Bottle family has a more architectural silhouette, the Camellia and Butterfly Floral families have softer rounded bodies, and the Blue Grid Jar introduces a broad contemporary pattern that breaks up the more traditional botanical designs.

How to Style It in a New Chinese Interior

Pair these vases with dark walnut consoles, tea cabinets, carved timber, black lacquer accents or warm stone. Use the tall 30–35 cm pieces with plum-blossom style branches, dried lotus stems or twisting winter branches. The 20–22 cm rounded pieces are better for tea tables, bookshelves and low floral arrangements, while the Wide Belly version works as a substantial centerpiece.

For a curated display, combine two motifs rather than matching identical pieces. A Star Bottle beside a rounded Camellia vase creates stronger contrast in height and silhouette while keeping the blue palette unified.

Blue-and-White Decorative Context

Blue-and-white ceramics became one of the most influential visual languages associated with Chinese decorative arts, with floral, scrolling and auspicious motifs repeatedly reinterpreted across centuries. Contemporary New Chinese interiors often use those references more freely, mixing historic color cues with rougher surfaces, simplified forms and asymmetrical displays.

Western Interior Pairing

The indigo palette also works naturally in Chinoiserie, Grandmillennial, coastal, transitional and eclectic interiors. Pair with cream linen, oak, brass, navy textiles or white walls for a crisp Western setting, or with darker timber and stone for a more traditional East Asian mood.

Best Flower & Branch Pairings

• Plum-blossom style stems
• Dried lotus pods
• White peonies or chrysanthemums
• Curly willow and bare winter branches
• Eucalyptus and olive stems
• Displayed empty as a sculptural ceramic object

Gift Guide

The smaller rounded pieces make versatile housewarming, birthday and hostess gifts. The tall branch vessels and Wide Belly form suit weddings, milestone gifts, office openings and design-conscious recipients who enjoy blue-and-white ceramics.

Care

• Dust with a soft dry cloth or soft brush.
• Use a lightly damp cloth for surface marks, then dry immediately.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners and scouring pads.
• Use felt beneath the base on polished furniture.
• Balance long branches evenly inside the opening.
