Chinese Famille Rose Prosperity Jar/Lantern with Gold Accents

This item is a decorative lidded jar or possibly a stylized lantern, crafted from porcelain or ceramic, featuring a vibrant Famille Rose palette on a bright yellow ground. Its form is tiered, consisting of a rounded base leading to a narrower middle section, topped by a wide, flattened lid, and crowned with a golden finial. The predominant color is a cheerful lemon yellow, intricately decorated with floral and foliage motifs in shades of green, blue, purple, and red. Notable features include several applied, raised elements: the lid is adorned with three gilded ingots (yuanbao), symbolizing prosperity, and the mid-section features four pink, wave-like or cloud-shaped attachments. The base of the jar prominently displays a rectangular cartouche with a gilded border containing Chinese characters, possibly conveying a message of 'wealth' or 'prosperity' ('増儡儠膒膒舒舒膒膒'). The base also has a distinctive purple and blue patterned band. The overall condition appears good, with bright colors and intact decorative elements, though some minor wear to the gilt or paint could be present upon closer inspection, which isn't discernible from the image. The craftsmanship suggests a decorative piece, likely from the mid to late 20th century, leaning towards an antique or vintage style. Its layered construction and extensive hand-painted details indicate a degree of artisanal effort, typical of traditional Chinese ceramic arts intended for auspicious display.
