It's Back! Blue and White Porcelain is All the Rage..Again

In Style this month, you’ll see home furnishings products from Arteriors, Bungalow 5, Pierre Frey, Port 68, Safavieh Couture, and W. King Ambler.
Does blue and white porcelain ever really go out of style?!  It may take a break now and again, but it is truly timeless.  An ode to china celebrates both the birthplace of porcelain and the classical designs that created an art form. Modern offerings play on ancient, traditional porcelain shapes — like urns,temple jars and tea caddies — for a delightful dash of wit.  Retail prices are shown for some of my favorite items below.  Contact us for our pricing, lead time, and to order.

Port 68's dragon-emblazoned garden stool borrows from the refined shape of a classic temple jar, minus the general's hat. Based on an original watercolor by Anne Croy, W. King Ambler's exclusive giclee references traditional Chinese porcelain with a koi- and lotus-embellished urn.
