Large Qing Dynasty Famille Rose Porcelain Ginger Jar
About the Item
Antique ginger jar with lid, porcelain, China, Qing Dynasty, 19th century, pumpkin-shaped featuring boys at play in Famille Rose colors.
This elegant piece, an antique ginger jar most likely from the Tongzhi period (1861-1875), showcases a meticulously hand-painted scene in rich, colorful overglaze enamels. The artwork depicts a scenery filled with blossoming trees in traditional Chinese style. It is adorned with decorations on all sides, featuring boys at play in a garden and symbolic bats, which are associated with happiness and prosperity. The theme of young boys playing in a courtyard garden is prevalent in Chinese decorative arts, expressing a wish for many successful sons. The boys are shown with everyday objects like fans, lanterns, or a qin, a musical instrument symbolizing high Chinese culture, frequently depicted by scholars.
The vibrant enamel colors are thick and lively. The original lid, which is a rare find, complements this exquisite piece! Dating back to the Late Qing Dynasty Tongzhi period, this antique Chinese ginger jar stands out with its beautiful decoration in the Famille Rose palette, celebrated for its delicate pinks, greens, and intricate details, all hand-painted with care.
With its intricate decoration and playful colors, this Famille Rose ginger jar is a delightful way to enhance any interior space.
QING STYLE
The last imperial dynasty from 1644 to 1912 was a time of change in China, beginning with the invasion by Manchurian forces that ended the Ming dynasty and established the Shunzhi Emperor. The expansion of exportation and trade that had bolstered the arts during the Ming era continued, as Qing dynasty furniture involved the same attention to craftsmanship with expert construction techniques in hardwood pieces that were assembled with mortise and tenon joints rather than nails or glue. Together, these eras comprise a golden age of Chinese furniture design.
Bats were symbols of happiness in the design of Qing furniture, with one of the characters in the word for bat, bianfu, being a homophone for fu, or “fortune.”
