Cloisonn? Enamel Ginger Jar with Floral Motif

Updated August 23, 2026

This is a vintage ginger jar crafted using the cloisonn? enamel technique. The body of the jar is bulbous, tapering to a narrower neck, topped with a domed lid. The primary material appears to be metal, likely brass or copper, enameled with a rich crimson red base. Intricate patterns of stylized clouds are visible on the upper portion, while the main body features a vibrant floral design, possibly plum blossoms or cherry blossoms, rendered in white and yellow with green leafy accents. The cloisonn? technique is evident in the fine metal wires (cloisons) that separate the different colored enamel segments, creating a mosaic-like effect. The lid also displays the characteristic scalloped border and cloud motif. The overall aesthetic suggests East Asian origin, likely Chinese or Japanese, and a period of production from the late 19th to mid-20th century.
