About the Item

This hand-painted Chinese blue and white porcelain ginger jar was hand painted in the mid-19th century, during the reign of the Tongzhi Emperor (1856–1875). The jar is richly decorated in deep cobalt blue with the Double Happiness symbol, butterflies, and scrolling peonies and lotus blossoms, each detail rendered with precision. The floral motifs flow gracefully across the surface, their intricate brushwork revealing the confident hand of a skilled painter. The glaze has a luminous surface that beautifully enhances the vibrancy of the underglaze painting. Created as a symbol of marital joy and enduring harmony, Double Happiness ginger jars were often presented as part of a wedding dowry or domestic offering, signifying blessings of love, unity, and prosperity. This ginger jar is notable for its elegant proportions, the beauty and clarity of its cobalt blue design, and its fine preservation.
