MCM Japanese Ginger Jar – Hand-Painted Seaside Scene with Bamboo, Flowers, Black & Gold Accents

Make timeless Japanese artistry part of your decor with this hand-painted mid-century ginger jar. Marked “Japan,” this vintage piece is well-preserved and free from chips, cracks, or crazing. A black band with gilded flowers encircles the rim and lid, tying the pieces together. Bold pink camellias and green bamboo fronds edged in gilt pop against the white background, creating a vibrant contrast. As you turn the jar, the bright colors transition into a serene seaside landscape with soft clouds and distant mountains.

Use it as a flower vase for a stunning dining table centerpiece, or display it alongside vintage spice jars in your kitchen.

I love how the scene changes as the jar turns. Picture it on a two-way shelf or as a focal point on your table.

Whether you collect mid-century porcelain or ginger jars, this striking piece adds a modern twist to a classic favorite and will shine in any collection.
