Description
A ginger jar is a traditional Chinese vessel with a wide mouth, a round body, and a domed lid. Cloisonné refers to the enameling technique where metal wires are used to create compartments that are then filled with enamel. Ginger jars were originally used to store spices, oils, and other goods for transport. They later became decorative objects and symbols of good fortune. Key Features: Material: Typically made of a brass or bronze body with enamel decoration. Decoration: The jar is decorated with floral patterns, often featuring lotuses and other auspicious symbols. The enamel colors include blue, green, pink, and white. Age: Late Qing dynasty (1644-1912), though some may be early 20th century. Markings: Some jars may have a "China" mark on the base. Condition: Condition varies, with some having small dents or chips.
