A striking Art deco French Temple Jar /GingerJar decorated in enamels on porcelain- originating circa 1910-20- It is unmarked but clearly of the highest quality - the decoration - applied by hand is extensive and highly detailed across all surfaces of the vase - Egrets/Herons , in Ivory & Gold ,of varying sizes cover the jar and lid with a border of Egrets in flight around the base.
French porcelain and enamel work on porcelain was highly influenced around this period by the Chinoiserie styles of the far east - Japan with their creative moriage work and many porcelain factories throughout France sought to reproduce similar - Longwy perhaps most famously using enamelling on many of their pieces and creating some of the finest examples.
We found this in the City of Limoges - the centre of porcelain production in France - so it is quite possible this Jar has never ventured far from it's origins - equally it is possible it could have been imported, from most likely Japan in the early part of the 20th century.
The black glaze is rich and glossy- and provides a perfect back drop to show the finest decoration.
