About the Item

his antique blue and white ginger jar features the beloved Double Happiness motif — a centuries-old Chinese symbol of joy and unity, traditionally gifted during weddings and celebrations of love. Hand-painted in vivid cobalt blue with soft, painterly detail, it dates to the 1920s–1940s, and was acquired from a Virginia estate layered in Colonial charm and generational antiques. Crafted in porcelain and finished in an underglaze technique, the jar carries a gentle patina and small rim chips on the interior lid — a sign of age, not imperfection. The wear is hidden when the piece is styled with the lid on or filled with stems, and only adds to the authentic, heirloom feel. Whether used as a statement vase, mantelpiece accent, or a decorative focal point, this jar is beautifully versatile — equally at home among blue-and-white Chinoiserie as it is layered into a more traditional or Southern-inspired setting. It’s the kind of piece that moves gracefully with the seasons and brings a sense of history to your everyday home. Measures: 10" tall
