Black & Cream Ginger Jar, 14 Chinese Porcelain Decor, Asian Chinoiserie A18

Black & Cream Chinese Ginger Jar This decorative Asian Chinoiserie jar measures approximately 14 1/2" tall, 9 1/2" in diameter at the widest with the base being 6 1/2" in diameter. Originally, ginger jars were used for storing and transporting spices, salt and oil in Ancient China. They also were used as containers for ginger, hence the name they got when they began entering the Western world. Their utilitarian purpose was replaced in time by a decorative one. We do have more than one of these so the one you receive could have minor differences from the one pictured.
This is free shipping to the Continental United States.
