Antique Chinese Blue & White Ginger Jar – Hand-Painted Bao Xiang Hua Lotus Peony Scroll – 12cm

A fine blue and white lidded porcelain ginger jar, hand-painted in the traditional Bao Xiang Hua (precious floral) scroll pattern, featuring lotus and peony motifs. This classic design symbolizes prosperity, beauty, and purity in Chinese culture.

Expertly crafted in China, this piece dates from the late 19th century to early 20th century, a period marked by a strong revival of Kangxi-style porcelain. The base is marked with the traditional blank double blue circle, often seen as an honorific Kangxi mark, typical of later period copies meant to pay homage to imperial wares.

The jar features:

• Original domed porcelain lid

• Hand-painted decoration (not transferware)

• Thick white glaze over fine porcelain

• Unglazed rim and footrim, with fully glazed interior and bottom

• The original cork stopper still present a rare and desirable feature
