Pair of Chinese Ginger Jars, Famille Noire Style, Peony Design, c. 1960s

About the Item

A matching pair of vintage Chinese porcelain ginger jars, handcrafted in the 1960s and decorated in the Famille Noire style. Each jar features a bold Famille Noire figural scene that wraps around the rotund body of the piece. Vibrant pink and red peony flowers bloom amidst emerald green foliage, with the colourful enamel tones set against a jet-black background. The neck of each jar is adorned with further symbolic details: stylized chrysanthemum flowers paired with gold-gilded leaves. This striking design, both dark and vibrant, draws inspiration from the fine antique porcelain of the Tongzhi-era in the Qing Dynasty. The peony flower, an enduring symbol of love, honour, and good fortune in Chinese culture, lends both beauty and cultural significance to these ginger jars. Measuring 16 cm tall with a diameter of 13.5 cm, both jars remain in good condition, showing minor age-related enamel wear. An excellent representation of 20th-century Chinese decorative arts.
