Want something unique for your home? Look no further! This beautiful antique pink and white Chinese porcelain lamp is absolutely unique. These pots are handmade and hand-painted. Did you know that these pots are the precursor to the famous Delft blue porcelain?
A classic ginger jar has high shoulders, a rounded, egg-like shape, comes in various sizes, has no handles, and has a domed lid. They have been used throughout history in China to store herbs and spices at home or in apothecary settings. Besides these everyday utensils, there were also beautifully decorated jars that were given in pairs as gifts. A yellow jar, for example, would have been a gift for the emperor, as yellow was the imperial color. A blue and white ginger jar was often given to a bridal couple. These jars were decorated with dragons and phoenixes or with Chinese characters for fertility and good fortune.
