This is a Chinese porcelain ginger jar with an oxblood (sang-de-boeuf) glaze.

The distinctive deep red glaze, known as "sang de boeuf" in French, is a traditional Chinese technique.

Ginger jars originated in China during the Ming Dynasty for storing spices and salt and became popular decorative items in the West in the 18th and 19th centuries.

The jar has a high-gloss finish that emphasizes the depth of the color.

Similar items can range widely in price depending on age, size, and condition.

The jar measures about 8.5 inches in height and about 5 inches in diameter at its widest point.
