Circa 1880 Chinese Export Blue and White Ginger jar measuring 8" in height. This ginger jars has the original cover. We have also mounted it on a rosewood base and have had it electrified and have also included the harp, shade and a finial to be converted into a table lamp. Total height to top of shade is 24" and 26" to the top of the finial. We will be adding a line of solid brass finials to our web site shortly. This ginger jar is not the true canton or nanking design and was made for the oriental taste and not that of the western world. It is known as Double Happiness. There are many out in the market place that are new but we guarantee ours to be 100 years old. They fit in with all the types of blue and white that is very popular and make a very useful and decorative lamp. We have two of these Double Happiness lamps in our inventory at this time which can be purchased separately or would make a nice pair at 2X the individual price. Also you can search thru our site as we have just purchased many original blue canton jars of this same form and in all different sizes and they all have been converted into table lamps.
