Rare Pair of Antique Chinese Lidded Ginger Jars
-
Description
Presenting a gloriously rare pair of antique Chinese lidded ginger jars.
These lidded urns, or jars, or vases are simply gorgeous and exhibit all the legitimate signs of natural aging that one would expect from a genuine antique Chinese piece.
Not marked, which likewise, signifies genuine age.
They are not exactly matching, but were most definitely designed to be kept as a pair!
Each has different coloring and decoration and one is slightly larger than the other.
Both have floral decoration, one with an orange blossom as the main featured decoration and the other with magenta blossom’s. Also, the one on the right has birds on its decoration.
Both are hand painted ceramics.
The one with the birds has a poem written on the rear on the other one has a butterfly.
The lids are also decorated to match the urn.
In our opinion, these Urns were made in the late 19th or early 20th century.
Note: The lids in the photos are on the wrong urn … just swap them over!
Dimensions: One (on the left) is 17.5" tall and 10" wide at the widest centre point. The other (on the right) is 16.25" tall and 10" wide at the widest centre point. -
