A mid-20th century ceramic ginger jar from Jingdezhen, China, richly decorated in famille verte–style enamels over an iron-red ground.

The palette includes green, yellow, turquoise, and aubergine overglaze enamels. A green enamel border accents both the base and the domed lid, which is topped with a pointed knop finial. The jar is mounted on a circular fitted stone base.
