Black & Gold Ginger Peacock Jar

This striking vintage lidded porcelain jar showcases exquisite Japanese craftsmanship. Standing 11.5 inches tall and 7 inches wide, it is finished in a glossy black glaze and decorated with intricate hand-painted designs of peacocks among lush florals, accented with rich gold detailing. The vibrant colors stand out beautifully against the dark ground, giving the piece an elegant and timeless appeal.

Marked Japan on the base with a red maker’s seal, this jar likely dates from the mid-20th century, when Japanese export porcelain was highly sought after for its quality and artistry. The fitted lid with finial top completes the form, making it both decorative and functional.

This piece works beautifully as a statement display jar, a centerpiece on a mantel or sideboard, or as part of a curated collection of Asian decorative arts. It remains in excellent vintage condition with only light signs of wear consistent with age.
