The Imari ginger jar is a type of porcelain jar that originates from the Arita region of Japan. The jar features bright, colorful patterns typically associated with Imari ware. These patterns often include floral motifs and a blue, red, and gold palette. The jar has a bulbous body with a lid that sports a gold finial.
Highly valued by collectors and art enthusiasts worldwide, the detailed patterns and bold colors make it a classic example of Imari porcelain. The term “Imari” comes from the port of Imari, where the Dutch East India Company shipped these items to the Western world. These facts explain why they are called Imari instead of Arita ware, where they originated.
