Vintage Asian Chinese (?) Ginger Jar Light Gray and Blue/Gray Stoneware No LidUp for bid and for your consideration is a vintage Asian ginger jar with no lid. It has a very light base color with blue gray decoration.
This jar would be great in a vintage style home or for anyone who likes vintage Ginger jars! To you collectors it
would be a wonderful addition to your collection!
The details:
This vase measures approx. 5 inches wide and about 5-1/4 inches tall.
It is made of a light colored clay that appears to have been hand thrown on a wheel, as you can see the concentric circles on the inside of the vase.
It has a light colored base glaze that comes up to within an inch of the rim where the glaze becomes thinner.
The decoration appears to be painted on. The stripes look to have been applied by turning the vase on a wheel.
There are many imperfections in the glaze, I believe that this is from the salt glaze process, where salt is thrown onto the vase while it is firing. But I'm not sure about this. But they are some sort of glaze imperfections, not chips or cracks
There is a raised ring on the bottom that is unglazed and looks like it may have been ground flat.
There are three hairline cracks that run from the top rim down the vase. They are about 3 inches, 2 inches and 1 inch long.
There are 2 holes that someone has drilled through the bottom.
There is a place, also on the bottom where a bit of the glaze has been chipped off.
This ginger jar would be a great addition to your collection or a finishing touch to your vintage decor! Maybe you know someone who would enjoy this as a gift? Why not bid now?!
