Product + Inspiration: Blue and White Ginger Jars

June 17, 2015

Good design is timeless and a perfect example of that is the blue and white ginger jars. Ginger jars are identified by their high-shoulders, rounded shapes, small mouths, and domed lids that often continue the piece’s exterior decoration all the way up to the finial. Ginger jars were initially used to store and transport spices, hence their name, but since the 19th century they have been used chiefly as decorative objects.

Although the patterns, styles and colors available in ginger jars is limitless, the classic blue and white ginger jar has become the most mainstream of the styles. These days you can find ginger jars at flea markets, thrift shops and even big box discount stores like Ross. This beautiful blue and white lidded temple jar is just one of several styles available from William Sonoma Home.
