This striking 11-inch blue and white ginger jar is a beautiful representation of transitional-era Chinoiserie, blending traditional form with rustic charm. Likely produced in the 1930s–1950s, it shows evidence of skilled handcrafting, with tool marks in the pottery, a glazed inner base, and unglazed outer rim—all hallmarks of artisan wheel-thrown work.
The body features softly expressive blue floral and scroll motifs, hand-painted in varying cobalt tones, offering the kind of depth and natural imperfection that collectors and decorators seek. The glaze ends cleanly at the foot, and subtle iron spotting across the surface adds character and authenticity.
The piece is finished with a neatly balanced “hat-rimmed” lid and rounded finial, echoing Qing-style forms with a simplified, rustic confidence.
