Pomegranate Sketch Ginger Jar

A ginger jar, 10.5 inches across and 17.5 tall, hand painted in a loose pomegranate sketch on porcelain. The gestural line is modern and the silhouette is not, and the tension between the two is the reason the piece works where a conventionally painted jar would read as straightforwardly traditional. At 17.5 inches it anchors a shelf or the end of a mantel. Light blue on white. Handcrafted, so each is painted slightly differently.
