Collection of Asian-Style Ceramic Ginger Jars and Covered Vessels

This collection consists of four decorative ceramic vessels, primarily in the style of Chinese and Japanese ginger jars. The group features varying shapes and glazing techniques. The leftmost jar is a ovoid shape with a black ground, decorated with polychrome floral motifs in green, pink, and white. Next is a unique pumpkin or persimmon-shaped lidded vessel, featuring a blue and white underglaze floral pattern and a sculpted stem finial. The third jar is a larger, classic ginger jar shape finished in a deep cobalt blue monochrome glaze with a high-gloss finish. The fourth jar is a globular blue and white porcelain vessel decorated with blossoming prunus branches (plum blossoms) against a cracked ice background, a hallmark of Qing Dynasty style. The jars appear to be of 20th-century manufacture, likely mid-to-late century. Condition across the pieces shows visible surface dust and minor shelf wear consistent with age, but no apparent structural cracks or significant chips from the front view. The craftsmanship displays mass-production quality typical of mid-century decorative imports, though the hand-sculpted stem on the pumpkin jar adds a unique artisanal touch. Dimensions range from approximately 4 to 8 inches in height.
