Chinoiserie Ginger Jar, Blue & White Dragon

This intricately-designed, classic blue and white ginger jar features an exquisite dragon design. Our Chinoiserie Ginger Jars are expertly handcrafted in Jiangxi, China, known as the “Porcelain Capital” because it has been producing quality pottery for over 1700 years. Artists in Jiangxi continue to pioneer new techniques, blending old traditions with a modern aesthetic. Following a traditional process, they are hand-formed, dried, trimmed, painted and then fired in a kiln that reaches 1300 degrees Celsius.  They are then glazed and hand-painted. 

Chinoiserie is a decorative style that emerged in 17th and 18th century France, characterized by the use of Chinese-inspired motifs and designs in interior decor. It was popularized during a time of European fascination with all things foreign, and Chinese art and culture were seen as particularly fascinating and sophisticated.
