AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Large Chinese ginger jar (without lid) made of blue and white ceramic, richly decorated with a mythical qilin (kirilin) among clouds, waves, and vegetation. The powerful brushwork and traditional symbolism give this piece a strong decorative appearance.
The pot has a classic rounded shape with a thickened rim, typical of Chinese ginger jars. Surrounding it are multiple decorative bands featuring floral and geometric motifs. The qilin is a symbol of good luck, prosperity, and protection in Chinese culture.
The underside is equipped with a blue painted apocryphal Chinese mark (see photo), applied for decoration and referencing an older Qing dynasty style.
