Antique blue white ginger jar
These antique pots can become beautiful additions to your interior! Their blue and white glaze and decorative motifs have been popular ever since porcelain was imported from China to Europe 500 years ago! Known in the West as ginger jars for their shape and frequent use to store spices; these pots were especially made for interior decoration.
Because porcelain becomes more fragile over the ages, the lids from these pots have been broken or lost. Nevertheless, these pots have great decorative qualities! Their antique character makes them stand out in modern interiors, while their bright colours make them pop up in the more country chic styles.
Please remember when buying vintage or antique items, they will have signs of use! That is what makes them so attractive and unique.
