About MeThe pair of painted porcelain ginger jars are similar, but do not match. The jar is painted in coloured enamels and depicts ten Chinese women against a rocky landscape. The image includes three women admiring a roll of painted fabric, a work-table, a seated woman, and a tree. The lid is painted with a cross-legged bearded man, holding a bowl. The dish dates to latter period of the Qing Dynasty, the last Imperial Dynasty before the formation of the Republic of China in 1912.
