Significance:
This is a striking example of Famille Noire porcelain, known for its vivid polychrome enamel designs over a dramatic black ground. Likely made in the late Qing Dynasty (circa 1890–1910), the jar is densely decorated with symbolic objects including scrolls, scholarly items, and flowering branches—each representing knowledge, prosperity, and rebirth. The applied three-dimensional floral and branch detailing enhances its collectible and decorative appeal.
