Product description
The ginger jar has carried lotus and floral motifs in chinoiserie pottery for centuries, and the Imperial Lotus Ginger Jar keeps that tradition intact. Hand-painted lotus and foliage work their way across a green-and-white ceramic body, finished with a fitted lid that turns the jar into a complete, self-contained object rather than an open vessel waiting for something to fill it.
Design Function: A lidded, classic-silhouette jar built to stand on its own as a decorative object — the lid means it reads as finished and complete without any styling required.
Details at a Glance:
- Material: Ceramic
- Color: Green/White
- Dimensions: 8.5"L x 8.5"W x 14"H
- Lidded jar — lid included and removable
- Handcrafted — each piece is an original and varies slightly in size and color
- Care: Dust with a dry cloth; line the interior before adding fresh florals; decorative interior use only
Category Standard: Within our decorative object collection, the Imperial Lotus sits in the classic chinoiserie, lidded-jar category — designed to hold its own visual weight on a shelf or console, distinguishing it from open bowls and vases built primarily for florals.
How to Style It: Let it stand solo on a mantel or bookshelf where the lotus pattern has room to be seen, or pair it with a stack of books at a lower height so the jar reads as the tallest element in the grouping.
Where It Works Best: Bookshelves, mantels, and entry consoles — the well-appointed, traditional-leaning spaces this pattern was made for.
Mel's Styling Take: Green is such an underused color in traditional decor, and this jar makes the case for it. I like grouping it with white ceramics and letting it be the one note of color on an otherwise neutral shelf.
Pairs Well With: The Koa Ginger Jar · Lotus Lidded Jar · White Alabaster Coasters (Sold Individually). Also styles beautifully with our The Mirela Bowl, Lyra Sculpture - Natural Gray, and The Wellon Footed Cachepot.
Also Available In: Currently offered in this one design — a true one-of-a-kind in our collection.
Good to Know: The lid is removable, so the jar can double as hidden storage on a shelf as well as a purely decorative accent.
Product Insight: Customers choose this piece when they want a traditional chinoiserie silhouette in a color that's easier to work into an existing palette than the more common blue-and-white.
