Vintage 10” H Solid Wood Hand-Carved Imperial Dragon Lidded/Handled Ginger Jar

Talk about a conversation piece! Be sure to look at this special piece from all its angles! A striking piece of craftsmanship, this vintage lidded ginger jar is hand-carved from solid hardwood, likely a rich teak or mahogany, and finished in deep espresso and warm chestnut tones that highlight the natural grain. The jar showcases an intricately carved imperial dragon in low relief wrapped intricately all the way around the vase giving the it a dramatic texture and an unmistakable one-of-a-kind presence.

Two woven rattan handles, secured with carved wooden loops, provide both function and sculptural detail. Its generous proportions make it a versatile statement piece—as a stand-alone art object, a decorative container, or a focal point on a console, shelf or mantel.

The jar is displayed for staging purposes on a lacquered brass riser that is not included, but can be added on for an additional cost. Ask for more details.
