• The body is decorated with panels of birds and floral motifs, likely peonies (symbolizing wealth and honor) and a phoenix-like bird, often representing rebirth and virtue in Chinese art.
• The lid has a navy blue finial, surrounded by a band of floral patterns and geometric heart motifs.
• Material: Porcelain or ceramic with a glazed finish.
• Origin: Marked “Andrea by Sadek – Made in China” (seen on the base), indicating this is a decorative piece likely produced in the late 20th century, possibly 1980s–1990s. While designed to look like antique Chinese porcelain, it is a modern reproduction.
• Function: Often used as a ginger jar (originally for storing spices or herbs), but in modern décor, it’s typically used for decorative purposes. See less
