Subject:Ginger jar blue and white with gold

I am trying to find out if this is anything special.

If you like it, and have the right spot to display it, then it's special. However, it is a fairly contemporary and primarily decorative product, frequenty found at estate and yard sales priced in the US$10-20 range. Probably made during the late 20th-century at a Macao or Hong Kong decorating factory. In this case, the dark outlines are created from transfers, with hand-applied gilt and blue washes.

Best regards,

Bill H.
