Chinese Blue and White Ginger Jar late 19th - early 20th century

This ginger jar is a decorative object that was often used to store ginger and other spices. The hand-decorated houses, water, mountains, a boat and a fisherman in dark blue suggest that it is a fine example of Chinese porcelain from the late 19th or early 20th century.

Chinese porcelain from this period is known for its refined finish and detailed hand-painting. The use of blue as a colour is typical of traditional Chinese art, with cobalt blue often used for painting motifs.
