Description

Monumental Mid-20th Century Chinese Baluster Ginger Jar with Lid – Black & Green, French Export. A striking vintage Chinese tall baluster ginger jar with lid, handcrafted in fine porcelain and produced in the mid-20th century for the French export market. This statement piece captivates with its striking jet-black enameled ground, dramatically enhanced by hand-painted turquoise green wash accents that bring depth and vibrancy to the intricate floral and foliage motifs. The detailed pencil-style line drawings—highlighting scrolling vines, berries, and blossoms—add refinement and elegance, while the delicate translucent green washes create a luminous contrast against the bold black glaze, bringing depth and movement within the composition. This impressive vase is both a decorative focal point and a collector’s treasure, perfectly suited for grand interiors, refined entryways, or as a centerpiece in modern and traditional settings alike. Its sophisticated palette and monumental scale give it the versatility to stand alone or anchor a larger decorative arrangement, with a perfect blend of East Asian craftsmanship and Western decorative taste.
Base diameter: 9.75″ – Opening diameter: 5.75″
Can be paired with two tall roll vases of matching design for an even more commanding ensemble, item reference LU911241518182.See
