There's an abstract modern feel to this lidded ginger jar. The variation of colors from light to dark blue, to light green create a swirl design. With each quarter turn of the vase you get a new look. The glazed surface has an underlying crackle finish and is free of chips and scratches. The knobbed lid fits tightly. The imprint on bottom is created by unknown artist, AKO. Make this contemporary ginger jar a "keeper" amongst your traditional collection. Please read description, size of product and review pictures carefully, if you have questions, please inquire. Thanks for visiting my Finder Keepers Shop!
