Description
Keep an iconic look of East Asian art close at hand with a stunning, hand-painted porcelain medallion. This elegant blue and white jewelry calls to mind exquisite vases from the Chinese Ming and Qing Dynasties, though it's handcrafted in the U.S.
The 1.5" diameter pendant—about the size of a typical tealight candle or silver dollar coin—is displayed on a 24-karat gold-plated chain with subtly textured links. The toggle clasp closes in the front, making it both easy to fasten and a fashionable detail. This East-meets-West design blends past inspiration with a contemporary sensibility for a unique take on blue and white porcelain jewelry.
This jewelry item comes packaged in a white box (pictured).
Museum Story
The National Museum of Asian Art is a global resource for understanding Asian arts, cultures, and societies and their intersection with the United States. Opened in 1923 as the country's first national art museum, it now stewards one of the world's best collections of Asian art, which date from antiquity to the present, from China, Japan, Korea, South Asia, Southeast Asia, the Ancient Near East, and the Islamic world (including Central Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa). The museum also holds an important array of 19th- and early 20th-century American art of the Aesthetic Movement.
