Chinese Ginger Jars Channel History and Beauty
Chinese ginger jars today are a decorative staple, but their early-day purpose was, at least in part, a functional one. Originated during the Qin dynasty, in Imperial China, today’s antique Chinese ginger jars were given as gifts and used to store ingredients like sugar, flour, and spices. But over time, the largely blue-and-white pieces became hot export items, and, particularly in the 1960s, and grew to become collectors’ items. Fast forward to today, as you scroll through our virtual shelves, teetering (hypothetically, that is!) with antique Chinese ginger jars for sale of every size imaginable.
