About the Item
Late 19th Century Chinese
Decorated Metal Covered Ginger Jar in the Japanese Style
Labeled on bottom Ralph M. Chait Galleries, New York
9 x 7.5 x 7.5 inches
Ginger jars were used to store and carry spices and herbs in Ancient China. Important spices as salt and ginger were put in these beautiful containers. It wasn’t until they came to Europe that they began to be called “Ginger Jars.” It all started during the Qin dynasty in China. This porcelain jar has a round shape and a domed lid or a round decorated pot with a small mouth. It is said that it was discovered by the time the ginger trade between China and Western world became a chief export, wherein they used these jars as a storage of ginger. These jars are called “Ginger Jar” in the Western while in China it is called “Guan” and “Jar” in English.
