About this piece
An elephant-form covered jar in glossy white ceramic, with stout legs, an upturned trunk, tusks and a molded tail. The removable saddle-shaped lid is topped with a pink-tipped lotus-bud finial and covers an opening in the elephant’s back. Oversized pink flowers and overlapping multicolored leaves cover the body, with smaller orange blooms, cobalt-blue fields dotted in gold, and gilt outlines. The decoration is famille-rose-inspired in a chinoiserie style; the ceramic body is likely porcelain. Visible rubbing affects the gold-colored detailing, particularly along the lid edge. Maker, date and country of manufacture are unconfirmed.
