Ginger jars originated in China during the Qin Dynasty (221–207 BC) as utilitarian spice containers, later gaining their name when used to export ginger to the West. Their ovoid shape, known in China as guan, soon became decorated with vibrant colors and patterns, making them highly collectible. By the Ming Dynasty, they played a major role in the export market, with popular styles including blue-and-white porcelain, Famille Verte, Famille Rose, and Japanese Imari. Once purely functional, by the 19th century they were prized mainly for aesthetics, with rare examples commanding high prices, such as a Kangxi-period jar that sold for $27,000 in 2007.
