N/A. (N/A). 1. EXC. The ginger jar is made in China and dates from the beginning of the 20th century. At the bottom, the jar is marked with a brownish incised mark. This mark stands for 'Chengua Nian Zhi' which means 'made during the period of the Chengua emperor'.

Still has the cork under the lid. Has characters under the base. Some grime which will clean off. The lid has been in two pieces, it is glued together. The inner part has a chip along this join. A later jar from the mid 20th century. Estimate: $40-80
