Imperial Blue Ginger Jar 17"

Since the Ming Dynasty, imperial blue and white porcelains have been prized by collectors and connoisseurs around the world. This underglaze blue ginger jar is based on a Chinese export pattern, ca. 1730. The elegant design features a central flowered medallion, floral collar and sprays. It is a definitive decorative accessory.

A favorite with brides, Mottahedeh specializes in luxurious patterns and unique, elegant shapes that are reproduced from china found in museums and historical societies. The patterns feature complex and vibrant colors, and hand-painted gold decoration. The pieces are surprisingly fresh and timely, and look wonderful in both contemporary and traditional dining rooms.
