Vintage 1970s Chinese Famille Rose Porcelain Ginger Jar
ON AUCTION IS A VINTAGE 1970S CHINESE FAMILLE ROSE (FRENCH FOR PINK FAMILY) PORCELAIN GINGER JAR. MADE IN AN UNKNOWN JINGDEZHEN STATE RUN FACTORY IDENTIFIED ONLY AS R IN THE SEAL MARK TO BASE.
GINGER JARS ORIGINATED IN CHINA DURING THE MING DYNASTY AND WERE INITIALLY USED FOR STORING AND TRANSPORTING SPICES, SALT, AND OTHER FOODSTUFFS.
THE TERM "FAMILLE ROSE" (FRENCH FOR "PINK FAMILY") REFERS TO THE ENAMEL GLAZES THAT FEATURED SHADES OF PINK, WHITE, YELLOW, AND GREEN, KNOWN AS "YANGCAI" OR "FOREIGN COLORS" IN CHINA DUE TO THEIR EUROPEAN ORIGINS.
THE JAR FEATURES INTRICATE, HAND-PAINTED DESIGNS, INCLUDING FLORAL MOTIFS AND A BUTTERFLIES.
MARK TO BASE: THE CHINESE PORCELAIN SEAL MARK READS "JINGDEZHEN, CHINA" WITH THE FACTORY CODE "=R=". THEY HAVE A DISTINCTIVE BRACKET (CALLED A STRAW HAT BY THE CHINESE RESERACHERS) AT THE TOP. THE CHINESE CHARACTERS IN THE SEAL, READ RIGHT-TO-LEFT AND TOP-TO-BOTTOM, TRANSLATE TO "JINGDEZHEN, CHINA". (JINGDEZHEN, A FAMOUS PORCELAIN-MAKING CITY IN CHINA.) THE R IS THE MARK FOR A SPECIFIC UNKNOWN CHINESE PORCELAIN FACTORY. MARKS WITH THESE CODES WERE USED STARTING IN OCTOBER 1964.
PORCELAIN FROM THESE STATE-OWNED FACTORIES IS ATTRACTING ATTENTION FROM COLLECTORS, WITH PRICES RISING ANNUALLY DUE TO THEIR LIMITED PRODUCTION PERIOD BEFORE THE FACTORIES WERE REORGANIZED IN THE 1990S.
DIMENSIONS: 13CM HIGH 10CM DIAMETER
CONDITION: NO CHIPS. NO CRACKS. GOOD VINTAGE CONDITION.
