Listed is this beautiful ancient smaller sized Ginger Jar with lid. This beautiful handmade jar is in good antique condition with lovely blue and white hand painted scene. It has crazing and other age related marks with a beautiful shiny gloss finish still apparent. The lid has three chips on the bottom rim, one of them is visible when it is sitting on the base.
Ginger jars are depicted by their high-shoulders, rounded shapes, small mouths, and domed lids. Although they were originally used to store and transport spices, hence their name, the containers (which typically don’t include handles) have been used primarily as decorative objects since the 19th century.
Please consider the images as your best description for all of my items.
Pots may contain crazing, spots of discoloration, hairline cracks and minor chips and fleabites that only add to its character and do not detract from its display value. These are expected due to age, use and being buried for decades and then being dug up and rescued.
Measures Approx 3 3/4” tall x 3 1/2” around the middle x 2” mouth
This is an authentic antique ironstone pot sourced during my recent buying trip to England. I have been sourcing these wonderful antique pots for over 10 years from sources who are actually digging them up in ancient rubbish sites all over England. I purchased my first antique Advertising pot when my husband and I had the wonderful opportunity to live in England in the 1980’s. Our daughter was born there and we enjoyed living in England so much we often went back to visit after returning to the US.
Interestingly, this same daughter’s husbands job moved them to London were we have enjoyed visiting our grandchildren and traveling the countryside antiquing.
On our many visits we have became friends with many of the “diggers” excavating the ancient dumpsites all over the UK and now source thousands of pots from them every year. I still love the charm they add to every room they are placed in.
