This stunning ginger jar is a true one-of-a-kind piece. The hand-painted blue and white design depicts the Chinese dragon horse or longma. In Chinese mythology, the longma is a fabled winged horse with dragon scales. Seeing one was considered an omen of a legendary sage ruler, particularly one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

Made of traditional blue and white ceramic, it features the typical flat lid for an Oriental ginger jar. Originally used to store fresh ginger, this jar would be a beautiful and unique addition to your home.

This jar is part of our exclusive collection of ceramics from Jingdezhen, renowned for its centuries-old tradition of craftsmanship. Each piece is handmade and hand-painted using traditional techniques, designed to capture the authentic look of antique ceramics. Subtle imperfections are a natural part of the process, enhancing the unique charm and character of these hand-finished works of art.
