Late 20th Century Traditional Blue And White Ceramic Chinese Ginger Jar

A blue and white ceramic ginger jar hand-crafted and painted in China in the second part of 20th century, it's in original condition with normal signs of age. Blue and white ceramics have a long history in Chinese porcelain, dating back to the Yuan Dynasty (1271–1368) and becoming more prominent during the Ming (1368–1644) and Qing (1644–1912) dynasties. The combination of cobalt blue on a white background is a classic and enduring style in Chinese ceramics. Floral patterns are a common theme in Chinese ceramic art. Different flowers may symbolize various cultural or philosophical meanings. Blue and white porcelain is highly collectible, and pieces with traditional floral motifs attract collectors of Chinese art and ceramics.
