Guest Picks: Purchase Decorating Homage to Temple Jars

Every designer and breeder loves to use the temple jar as an attachment. Just what is a temple jar? Simply, it’s a ginger jar–fashion vase with a lid on it. Some say the cover resembles a Chinese general’s hat from the old days, and a few say that it’s symbolic of the roof of an Asian temple. You may believe temple jars are old school, and while I prefer to call them classic, they have found their way into trendy modern rooms. Hip designers such as Miles Redd, Tobi Fairley and Mary McDonald use temple jars as a go-to accent. And now you can also, as I present this roundup of temple jars. — Valorie from The Visual Vamp
