Offering a remarkable EXTRA-LARGE hand painted Chinese porcelain "Lid Pot" style ginger jar, circa Mid 20th Century. This item was made exclusively for Maitland-Smith Ltd. during the 1980s. It is signed with two Maitland-Smith labels on the bottom stating that it passed inspection on 12/2/1985. The jar was hand painted in China, most likely Macau, China, which produced some of the best Chinese hand painted porcelain of its era. So big it can be used as a planter if so desired.
EXCELLENT CONDITION....NO FLAWS....JUST PERFECT!
This particular jar has an urn style shape, which is a little different than a traditional ginger jar. In Chinese antiquity it is called a "Lid Pot" jar and was used for storage and fermentation of foods. This particular jar was made to look old like an antique and is not intended for food.
The turquoise or light teal colored jar is covered in koi fish with three different colors of orange, lavender and periwinkle blue. There are three borders. One border is on the edge of the lid made of fish scales and pink flowers. There is a floral border at the top of the jar and a very unique border at the base of the jar. The border at the bottom has 5 different motifs including a red shell, old Chinese coins, red fire, an abstract tree, and one with two crossed logs. These 5 motifs repeat themselves around the circumference of the base.
PLEASE SEE THE THREE LABELS STILL ATTACHED ON THE BOTTOM
We have sold Chinese antiques for many years and have never seen such an elaborate and extraordinary hand painted jar......its just spectacular!
SIZE:
13" high (to top of handle on the lid)
11" diameter
10.5" diameter of lid
WEIGHT:
over 9 pounds (a heavy and substantial lidded jar)
This is a spectacular one-of-a-kind jar that is extremely rare to find. It is perfect for the Boho Chic Decor or Palm Beach Decor that loves to incorporate unique luxury accessories into its design motifs.
This item is perfect for a large mantel, large coffee or end table, credenza or console table. A great decorative piece for a large round foyer table that will truly make a statement as one enters your home.
