Canton
Canton or Cantonese is a style of porcelain decoration produced in Guangzhou, Guangdong in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries.
Prior to 1842 Guangdong was the only port that could legally export to Europe. It is typically decorated with panels of figures, birds and insects on complicated grounds usually in pallets of green and pink.
Temple Jar
A temple jar is a traditional vase shape with a domed lid with some form of finial or decoration. There are several theories as to why they are called temple jars, one being the lids resemble the top of a temple another being they were originally used to hold the remains of deceased loved ones. Traditionally they were originally used as containers for spices and salts, and later became decorative objects.
