What is a Baluster Jar?

The word baluster refers to an architectural shape common in balcony and stair case rails. As a porcelain ware, this specific shape began as an elongated covered jar in the early 18th century, as part of decorative 'garniture' sets originally made for the Dutch Market. These sets were made in a matching series of similar vases and lidded jars which could be combined in sets of three, five, or seven.

The wider fuller form Baluster Jar depicted in this table lamp originally evolved from the hu (jar) shape dating back to the Chinese Han dynasty. Lidded jars of this fuller form, were widely used as wine or water jars in Macao during the late Ming dynasty.

This wheel-thrown porcelain baluster jar, decorated in orange on a white ground, has lappets encircling the foot. Above the lappets, the jar is decorated with foliage scrolls punctuated with chrysanthemum flowers. Around the shoulder there is a band of alternating ruyi-heads and surrounding the neck is a diagonal cross-hatch pattern. The cover is decorated with similar motifs. The rim of the cover is encircled with a diagonal cross-hatch design similar to that surrounding the neck and the dome is decorated with foliage scrolls and chrysanthemums. If this baluster jar was not made into a table lamp, the top of the cover would have a knob in the shape of an unopened lotus bud.

Why should you buy this table lamp?

For those designers and home owners who appreciate bespoke works of art and beauty, these table lamps bring the utility of ambient light into your home on the body of a hand-made and hand-decorated porcelain vessel that was created with the unique artistry of long-honored Chinese motifs and imperial patterns along with the same potting and firing methods used in the ancient kilns of Jingdezhen, China.
