AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

An elegant and finely decorated Chinese porcelain lidded jar (likely a ginger or tea jar), dating from the late 19th to early 20th century. The vessel features a classic "Ginger Jar" form with a high-domed lid topped by a flared, trumpet-shaped finial.

The exterior is hand-painted in vibrant Famille Rose enamels, showcasing a cyclical "Four Seasons" floral motif including lotus, plum blossom, and orchid. Each floral vignette is accompanied by graceful calligraphic inscriptions in black ink, adding a scholarly "literati" aesthetic to the piece.

Material: Fine white porcelain with polychrome enamels.

Decoration: Hand-painted botanical studies with poetic calligraphy.

Markings: Red iron-red seal marks are present both on the base of the jar and inside the lid finial, signifying quality and provenance.

Dimensions: Height: 11 cm
Diameter: 10 cm

Condition Report
Presented in generally very good antique condition. The body and lid retain their original luster with minimal enamel wear.

Lid: One minor, shallow chip on the top rim of the finial (as seen in detail photos).

Body: No cracks, hairlines, or restorations noted.

Collector's Note: The presence of matching marks on both the lid and the base is a desirable feature, indicating the set has remained together since its production.
