This post-war Japanese ginger jar is hand painted with striking floral patterns, and its top is hand done with colored slip tracing in an ornate, gold trimmed pattern. We believe the clay was fired with red, cobalt, and black iron oxide to produce a lasting decoration that is wonderful to look at.

The bottom of the piece is marked'Kireina Foreign. This was a common makers mark on pottery produced in Japan immediately after the second world war.

The The term is from the Japanese'Kirie na' which means pretty. The use of the term Foreign was generally used following WWII in order not to identify the country of origin. This ginger jar is small measuring 4 1/4 inches tall and having a base of 2 inches. The item weighs 6.5 ounces.
