This small ginger jar is about 6" high x 4" widest diameter. It is marked on the bottom. Based on the Gotheborg web site, this is Chinese, possibly decorated in Hong Kong, but couldn't find this exact mark. Probably 1950s-1990s. For $1 I could not pass it up. It is hand painted and I think the flowers are either hand etched or enameled onto the vase. Not sure which.

Absolutely beautiful ginger jar, the floral pattern is truly exquisite
Thanks, Jenni! It is a color bomb, for sure!
Thanks for loving my jar, fortapache, sherrilou, Falcon61, vcal, Vynil33rpm and Jenni!
I'll agree with Jenni. Nice find !
Try to think logically , you always look for the NON Common DENOMINATOR
so you only got to remember lets say 1 symbol out of 60 during 1640-1910
and that,s the mark right under , with the key in it
so you don,t define it by the fish hook symbol right on type otherwise you could end up by the Guangxhu period and this is a Qianlong Nianzhi mark
this is quite new m this is later then fifties, probably stamped but not rubber stamped, no oneven pressure, no air bubbling, but can,t see well
you probably break even , although it is close lol, cute
Thanks for your comment, mikelv85! Its purty!
That for your comments, Waki! That is really helpful. I was pretty sure it was Nianzhi, but stuck on finding a complete match of the mark. I am satisfied with some eye candy, on this one and it is cheap enough to use without worrying about breaking it.

Thank you, Tennessee123!
It's a beauty Kevin.
I see ginger jars from time to time but know so little about dating them I wouldn't know what to get.
I would have taken this one because of that gorgeous painting on it
Thanks for your comments, Karen! The color bomb, small size and price decided me on this one. I figured it was probably very new and not worth much but it is a nice little mood lifter.
Thanks for loving my jar, DejaVu2, Blueyecon and clockerman!
Thanks, kivatinitz!
Thanks, Faith.k!
