Ginger jars are a design classic, irresistibly shapely and decorative.

9" Porcelain pot with domed lid. Chinese style, probably from mid-20th century or earlier, decorated with red and blue flowers and a small figurine handle. This type of pot is traditionally used to store ginger roots and other precious spices, but is a hot decorator piece today. You could also use it in your kitchen for tea bags, or in your shrine room for loose incense.
