This reproduction Chinese blue & white ginger jar has a beautifully intricate bamboo & prunus design. Prunus (or plum blossom) is the symbol of resilience & perseverance, especially in the harsh winters. It's also the national flower of Taiwan. Bamboo symbolises loyalty, integrity, and honesty as even during storms, it bends without breaking. 

These ginger jars are hand painted by skilled artists using traditional techniques learned from their families and passed down through generations. Ginger jars are steeped in centuries of Chinese culture and history originating in the Qin dynasty (221 - 207 BC) when ginger and other luxury Chinese goods became a major export to the Western world. These decorative jars were used onboard ships for storage.

All our reproduction Chinese porcelain is made in Jingdezhen which has been the capital of Chinese porcelain production since 1004 AD. The famous imperial kilns have been sited there since the Ming dynasty (1368 - 1644 AD).
