My Ginger Jars

2 months ago

People asked about my ginger jars when I posted the picture of the flowers you sent me.


They are Fujita Kutani Japanese export, In the chrysanthemum pattern, produced during the midcentury period of the 20th c. The green and orange ones are from my parents' living room. When I looked these up, I found a blue one with the lid at a reasonable price, and why not? It picks up the blue from the table and the rugs.

They are about 60 years old and are only valued at what someone will pay for them. Without the lid, I have seen them as low as about $12, with the lid, maybe $85, which I think is kinda high.

Without the lid I supposed they could be used as a vase, but they look incomplete, which may be why they are so cheap. There is also a pale pink one which I like, but I don't like even numbers, so then I might have to find another color, like yellow.
