Blue & White Porcelain Ginger Jar – Dragon

This reproduction Chinese blue & white ginger jar is hand painted by skilled artists using traditional techniques learned from their family passed down through generations. The dragon was used by Chinese emperors to instil their power and strength and is possibly the most famous Chinese symbol. Auspicious with control over water, rain, hurricanes, and floods the dragon grants good luck for those who are worthy enough. 

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 major exports 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).
