This 19th-century blue-and-white ginger jar is defined by its thin walls, round body, and delicate lid topped with a bud-form handle. Painted with expressive brushwork, the jar is festooned with peony blossoms, emblems of spring time and feminine beauty. Tucked amid the flowers is a resting phoenix, a regal motif in Chinese art that furthers the vase's blessings of beauty, dignity, and good fortune.
