This is a charming pair of vintage cloisonne enamel lidded jars, sometimes referred to as ginger or general's jars. The bodies are richly decorated with a bright turquoise blue background, covered in intricate multicolored floral scrollwork featuring pink chrysanthemums and green leaves.
Each jar is accented with a large red stylized Chinese character (寿, meaning longevity) on one side. The domed lids are decorated with yellow floral motifs and topped with small, pointed bronze-tone finials. The metal rims and interiors show a natural aged patina, and the base of each jar bears a small recessed seal. These colorful and detailed pieces make lovely decorative accents for a shelf, mantel, or display cabinet.

Height: 15 cm (approximately 5.9 inches)
Diameter: 8 cm (approximately 3.1 inches)
Total Weight (for the pair): 1500 grams (approximately 3.3 lbs)
