About this jar
This jar was from Bat Trang, a pottery village near Hanoi, Vietnam. At 19.5 inches tall, it is big enough to stand on its own. Put it on the floor by the front door, at one end of a console table, or beside the fireplace.
Up close, the work is in the raised relief. Lotus flowers, buds and leaves sit on a dotted ground, with carp at the sides. The body is a matte brown clay and the raised designs are a bronze-gold tone, so it looks warm rather than shiny. It sits well next to wood, linen and stone.
Lift the lid and look inside, or leave it closed and keep it on show. The inside is a matte dark brown, with a small yellow mark at the base. We have one.
It also makes a big housewarming gift for someone moving into a new place. Because of the size, we suggest you see it in person first. It is at our shop in Kitsilano, open seven days a week.

Questions people ask
Is it a ginger jar or a temple jar?
People use both names for a lidded jar like this. A temple jar is usually the taller kind with a lid and a knob on top, which is what this one has.
Is the bronze-gold colour real gold?
We do not sell it as containing gold. Bronze-gold is the colour of the raised designs, set on a matte brown body.
Does the lid come off?
Yes. The lid lifts off and the jar is hollow. We sell it for display.
Is it an antique?
We do not sell it as an antique. It is a jar from Bat Trang, Vietnam.
How do I get it home?
We deliver it free to Vancouver, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Richmond and Burnaby, and contact you after you pay to arrange a time. If you would rather pick it up at our Kitsilano store, say so in the notes at checkout. It is 19.5 in tall and 12 in wide, so plan for room in the back seat or the trunk.
