The original cover is no longer present, leaving the jar offered as shown.

COLLECTOR’S NOTE

Blue and white porcelain decorated with birds, butterflies and flowering plants was widely produced during the Qing Dynasty. Such naturalistic motifs carried strong decorative appeal and appeared across a broad range of domestic vessels during the 19th century.
