Early 20th Century Chinese Porcelain Ginger Jar with its Lid

About the Item

An interesting beginning of the 20th century antique Chinese porcelain ginger jar, with fitted lid, which appears to be a replacement, and extremely desirable ‘Government Antiquities’ wax export seal still in place on the base. Traditional blue and white colouring on a celadon glazed background depicts a peacock nestled amongst oriental foliage and flowers. The lid, with its pointed finial, has some small chips on it, is a slightly different celadon hue to the main body, and is decorated with three stylised bats. The lids on these pieces were fired in separate batches and matched up afterwards – fitting perfectly onto the jar.
