Description: This ginger jar is an excellent condition with no chips or cracks or crazing. These porcelains are recognized in China as a category on their own. In my recent explorations of Chinese porcelain websites, it would seem that Wan Shou Wu Jiang porcelains from the early years of the PROC, in particular the ‘Cultural Revolution’ examples, are now of interest to collectors! From what I can understand of the articles and news items, many of these porcelains were exported to the West, with comparatively few remaining in China. The name of Chairman Mao Zedong also comes up in association with Wan Shou Wu Jiang and porcelain, but I can’t find out what the association is. However, considering the ubiquity of these 1960s and 1970s porcelains worldwide, I thought it would be interesting to look at the group of porcelains with these characteristics. Wan Shou Wu Jiang wares include all porcelains and patterns which have 4 equally spaced circles and which contain, in sequence, the Chinese characters ‘Wan’ 萬, Shou’ 壽, ‘Wu’ 無 and ‘Jiang’ 疆 or WanShouWuJiang_Characters – in simplified form 万寿无疆. ‘Wan Shou Wu Jiang’ translates as boundless longevity or everlasting long life, where Wan = 10,000, Shou = long life and Wu Jiang = without boundary. The intricate and intriguing use of rebuses and puns in Chinese art is evident in the decorations on these porcelains. Please see photos for dimensions in overall condition
