This is a fine Chinese porcelain ginger jar, hand-decorated with traditional goldfish and lotus motifs, symbols of abundance, harmony, and prosperity in classical Chinese culture.

 

The base bears an apocryphal Yongzheng reign mark (雍正年製), referencing the Yongzheng Emperor of the Qing Dynasty (1723–1735). While the mark honors an earlier imperial period, the jar itself was produced mid-20th century as part of the Qing-revival porcelain tradition.
