This elegant Japanese ginger jar, designed by Shibata Chinaware, showcases a striking contrast between its deep, high-gloss black glaze and intricate floral ornamentation. Known as the "Tenmoku-Kiku" pattern, the jar is adorned with sprawling golden and silver chrysanthemums (kiku), which are symbols of longevity and rejuvenation in Japanese culture. The delicate linework captures the fine textures of the petals and autumnal leaves, creating a sense of movement as the vines appear to wrap around the vessel's rounded shoulders.

The jar features a traditional ovoid silhouette with a matching domed lid, maintaining a seamless visual flow when closed. The reflective, mirror-like finish of the "Tenmoku" style glaze adds a layer of depth, making the metallic floral motifs pop with a luminous, three-dimensional quality that would make it a standout decorative piece in any collection.
