Questions About Chinese Jars Antique
  • What were Chinese ginger jars used for?
    1 Answer
    Lotus Gallery
    Lotus GallerySeptember 23, 2020

    Chinese ginger jars were originally made as utilitarian vessels used to store various herbs and spices. Today, they are almost exclusively decorative objects.

  • What are the defining factors of a Chinese ginger jar?
    1 Answer
    Lotus Gallery
    Lotus GallerySeptember 23, 2020

    Chinese ginger jars are defined by their round, compact shape, wide mouth, short neck, and fitted cover.

  • What does a Chinese ginger jar look like?
    1 Answer
    Lotus Gallery
    Lotus GallerySeptember 23, 2020

    A Chinese ginger jar should be fairly compact in size, with a rounded, globular or ovoid body, high shoulders, a wide circular mouth, short neck, and a fitted cover.

  • How do you identify antique Chinese furniture?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertNovember 4, 2024
    To identify antique Chinese furniture, look carefully at its details. Chinese craftsmen often built furniture using mortise and tenon joinery, eliminating the need for nails and screws. If you see this type of hardware, your piece is likely not at least 100 years old, especially if the hardware still looks new and shiny. Since antique furniture was handmade, you will normally see slight imperfections, such as tool marks or slight variations in carvings. Pieces that appear completely uniform and pristine are less often genuine antiques.

    When present, maker's marks can also be helpful. Research the marks to learn more about when the maker was active and producing pieces like yours. Alternatively, you can have a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer evaluate your furniture for you.

    Shop an assortment of antique Chinese furniture.
  • How can I tell if my Chinese furniture is antique?
    1 Answer
    PAGODA RED
    PAGODA REDOctober 7, 2020

    To determine the age of a Chinese furniture piece, look carefully at the joinery and finish. Natural expansion and contraction of the wood over time will cause a joint to protrude or retract, distorting a once-seamless fit. Antique lacquer finishes become crackled and worn over time. Areas of exposed wood, such as the underside of a table, the footrest of a chair, or the back of a cabinet should appear raw and dry compared to the finished surface. With use, the legs of tables and chairs become weathered near the bottom from precipitation and use.

  • How to know if my Chinese porcelain is antique?
    1 Answer
    Lotus Gallery
    Lotus GallerySeptember 23, 2020

    The best way to know is to take it to an expert, such as an appraiser, reputable dealer or auction house, or museum
