Jar from the Imperial collection in Green finish

The Imperial Green Ginger Jar is a decorative green jar that has its roots far in the past. The Imperial label is apropos for the porcelain jar because this piece is made of clay sourced from the area surrounding the kilns that produced objects for the Imperial estate during the heyday of the dynasties. The formulas to achieve the particular green on this jar's surface is a secret one guarded by ceramicist families devoted to the single color. The glossy, rich green was originally produced exclusively for those in high society.
