What Is a Ginger Jar and How Do You Decorate With It?
A ginger jar is a traditional Chinese ceramic vessel with a wide body, domed lid, and painted motifs, originally used to store spices and now prized as a decorative jar for mantels, consoles, and shelving. Decorators use ginger jars in pairs flanking mirrors or solo as sculptural accents, filled with dried flowers or left empty to showcase hand-painted patterns.
