Well potted and handcrafted ginger jar with elaborate peony scroll design. There is a good contrast between the dark scroll and the light crackle glaze.Hand potted round ginger jar with a smooth soft crackle glaze. The body has been overlaid with a slip and painted in a dark brown colored glaze. The design is of peonies and leaves scrolling. The mouth is unglazed as is the foot. There is good glaze control as the glaze stops short of the foot and there is no bleeding of the dark glaze. The jar has a fairly heavy feel. There is a domed lid which mirrors the design.There is the word CHINA in red glaze on the glazed base. We have another matching ginger jar in our shop. They match perfectly (except the other jar has no lid).MEASUREMENTS 5 7/8a€ (14.9 cm) tall x 5a€ (12.7 cm) diameter. Weighs 1 lb 7.7 oz (670 g)CONDITION There are no breaks or cracks.
