About this piece
Double happiness, painted twice for good measure.
This lidded ginger jar was made in China in the early 20th century, in porcelain painted in blue and white. It is a folk-style wedding jar, a form commonly given for marriage, and the character shuangxi, or double happiness, is painted large on the front. Comma-form leaves and small petals fill the ground around it in a dense pattern, with ring bands at the shoulder and foot. The lid is domed.
About ten inches tall and eight wide. A wedding gift that has never needed a card.
