This is a vintage Chinese export porcelain ginger jar featuring a striking matte cerulean/cobalt blue background. The body is heavily adorned with vibrant, thickly enameled hand-painted pink peony blossoms, ripening peaches, and split pomegranates—traditional Chinese motifs representing wealth, prosperity, and longevity.
This piece features traditional alphanumeric factory production markings stamped on the underside of the base ("5-3") and inside the rim of the lid ("5-10"), identifying it as a mid-to-late 20th-century export item from Jingdezhen Factory No. 5. The base also features the classic red stamp reading "For decorative purpose only not for food use," authenticating its production timeline from the late 1970s to the 1980s.

Condition Report:
* Jar Body: Excellent vintage condition. The colorful enameled details remain bright and textured. There are no chips, cracks, or flea bites anywhere on the porcelain body or base rim.
* Lid: Present and fits cleanly. The small top knob on the lid was previously repaired (glued back on) by a prior owner. The repair was cleanly executed, holds securely, and is barely noticeable when displayed (see photos for close-up details).
