Presented here is an exceptional pair of antique Chinese miniature ginger jars, dating to the turn of the 20th century. These "jarlets" feature the classic blue and white "Prunus on Cracked Ice" motif, a design symbolizing the end of winter and the arrival of spring. The jars are finished in a traditional "Ge-type" crackle glaze, giving them a wonderful textured aesthetic.

Each jar is substantial in weight for its size, indicating high-quality hard-paste porcelain common in late Qing export wares. The bases are marked with a stylized peach, an auspicious Chinese symbol for longevity and immortality.

• Condition: Good vintage condition overall, with age-appropriate wear. Minor chips and roughness to the neck rims on both; some surface stains, pitting, and glaze skips; no major structural damage, hairline cracks, or restorations visible.

• Dimensions: Approx. 3 inches tall.
