On offer is a substantial and beautifully hand-painted 19th-century Chinese blue and white porcelain jar, complete with its original lid and resting elegantly on a finely carved wooden display base. This striking piece of antique Chinese ceramics is a true collector’s treasure, showcasing the intricate craftsmanship and symbolic design that defined Qing dynasty porcelain artistry.

This lidded jar features rich cobalt blue underglaze decoration, prominently displaying the shuangxi (double happiness) symbol—a powerful traditional motif in Chinese art representing joy, good fortune, and matrimonial harmony. The character is framed by scrolling peony blooms and foliate tendrils, which are also highly auspicious symbols in Chinese culture, representing wealth, honor, and feminine beauty.

The jar’s overall condition is very good for its age, with a few minor surface blemishes and firing marks typical of hand-crafted porcelain from this period. There is no significant damage, and the glaze retains a beautiful glossy finish with subtle age patina. The mouth of the jar shows the unglazed rim typical of 19th-century Chinese stoneware and porcelain, further confirming its authenticity. The original lid is intact and hand-painted with matching double happiness symbols and floral borders.

It is presented on a hand-carved hardwood stand, likely rosewood, which complements the jar’s stately presence and elevates its decorative appeal. The complete height, including the base, is approximately 10 inches, making it a prominent and eye-catching piece suitable for display in any interior setting.
