ginger jar
Decorative porcelain vessel
A ginger jar is a ceramic container with a rounded body, wide mouth, and domed lid, originally Chinese and used for storing spices like ginger.
The distinctive shape—bulbous with a high shoulder tapering to a flat base—has become a staple of decorative pottery: The mantelpiece displayed a pair of blue and white ginger jars.
