Cobalt Guild offers an assortment of blue and white porcelain vessels from the antiques markets of Jingdezhen, a town long distinguished by imperial patronage. This piece is a small paste ink box with a parable depicting an encounter with a tiger (we hope the tiger wins) - and is part of our new collection paying homage to the designs of the 1920s, 5" D x 2 5/8" H
We suggest using for jewelry or other small secrets...perhaps for fancy kitty treats?

We have always been inspired by the history, artistry and creativity of traditional Chinese porcelain. Each piece relays a story rich in metaphor, ceremony and cultural exchange. The porcelains we source were made in the ancient city famous for blue and white and the imperial kilns - Jingdezhen. In the Chinese tradition, potters draw direct inspiration from designs from the past, so we choose pieces to represent the best design, regardless of age.
