Chinese Oatmeal Crackle Ginger Jar

Updated August 6, 2026

A large, colorful and hand decorated porcelain Chinese ginger jar with a warrior scene and an oatmeal crackle glaze. The warriors are riding horses and waving banners. The ginger jar is heavy and thickly potted. The mouth and base are glazed in a deep brown color to approximate bronze. There is a Chinese character mark on the base in a dark brown glaze. It's very difficult to read but I believe the bottom word is "China". MEASUREMENTS 9 ¾" (24.8 cm) tall x 8 3/4" (22.2 cm) diameter. Weighs 5 lbs 13.7 oz (2655 g) CONDITION There are no cracks, chips or breaks other than a hole in the bottom that was drilled when the jar was lamped in 1956 (there is a note in the jar, from previous owner explaining this). The base has an added collar of plaster which has been colored to fit the jar. This was done to match another lamp height. There are typical kiln flaws, such as enamel spotting, pin hole reserves and black spots. A large decorative Chinese ginger jar that is noticeable and will add to the décor. Period: Early 20th Century Origin: China Materials: Porcelain Dimensions: 9.75"W × 9.75"D × 8.75"H
