Chinese blue and white ginger jar, 18th/19th century, decorated with plum blossoms against an underglaze blue cracked ice ground
Dimensions:
Height: 19cm. (7 ½ in.)
Condition:
Good
Notes:
Plum blossom flourishes in the cold months and is one of the earliest harbingers of spring. Paired here with the motif of cracking ice, itself a sign of the thawing of winter, the jar’s symbolism is one of optimism and the coming of warmer months.
