A beautiful vintage Chinese-style blue and white porcelain potpourri jar featuring a stunning reticulated pierced lid. The domed lid showcases an intricate honeycomb lattice design highlighted with painted white plum blossoms against a rich cobalt blue background, allowing natural scents to drift gently through the room. The body of the jar is decorated with a traditional, hand-painted aquatic scene depicting stylized koi carp fish swimming among lotus flowers and trailing pond weeds.
The base bears the handwritten blue underglaze mark of the prestigious historic London florist, "Moyses Stevens". It is in very good vintage condition with no chips, cracks, or crazing.
