Re: Asian ginger jar
your ginger jar is Chinese, it is decorated with cranes, a symbol for long life. The mark, I beleive, claims it was made in the Kangxi Period 1654-1722, however this is seen on 20th Century porcelain, decorated in Hong Kong. You would have to have an expert look at the piece to determine the actual date. I would never beleive any Chinese mark, without authentication.
