This nearly antique blue and white ginger jar by Mason's is a vintage find from England, sourced from an estate in Aix-en-Provence. Initially, ginger jars in Ancient China served the practical function of storing and transporting various spices, including salt, oil, and the eponymous ginger. As they made their way to the Western world, their utilitarian role evolved into a more decorative one over time.
