Large Porcelain Ginger Jar, Famille Noire, China c1930s

About the Item

A 1930s hand-crafted Chinese porcelain ginger jar, also known as a large melon jar for its distinctive, rounded shape. In very good condition for its age and use, this collectible piece of Chinese porcelain measures 33 cm in height with a diameter of 23 cm, making it a striking piece to display. Finely decorated in the sought-after Famille Noire style, it features a vibrant palette of pastel-hued enamels in violet, yellow, pink, red, and turquoise, all beautifully contrasted by jet-black enamel atop white underglazed porcelain. Encircling the jar’s rotund body are four decorative cartouches, each depicting symbolic Chinese figural scenes: blooming peonies and peaches in lush green foliage, ceremonial scenes featuring temple figures, and other intricate motifs. This 1930s ginger jar is a richly decorated piece of antique Chinese porcelain, ready to be displayed as a distinctive statement in any collection or interior.
