Know before you buy
Yes, this piece is designed as a functional food jar. However, because it is an antique, we recommend using it for dry goods or wrapping items in food-safe parchment before placing them inside.
To preserve the hand-painted details and the integrity of the glaze, wipe the jar gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges that could scratch the surface.
As a traditional ginger jar, the lid is designed to sit securely atop the opening but does not feature a modern airtight gasket. It is best suited for decorative display or storing non-perishable items that do not require an airtight environment.
This jar originates from the Shanxi Province in China. It reflects the traditional craftsmanship of the region, characterized by its distinct green glaze and hand-painted motifs that are typical of historical Chinese ceramic artistry.
With a diameter of 7 inches and a height of 9.75 inches, the jar has a substantial base that provides good stability. It is well-suited for display on mantels, bookshelves, or console tables.
