Chinese red lacquered large baluster jar with floral and bird motifs, longevity

  
This striking Chinese lacquered baluster jar features a vibrant red background, intricately decorated with panelled stylised floral and bird motifs in fine black and gold. The design includes circular and geometric symbols that signify blessings and longevity, enhancing the piece's cultural significance. Measuring 44 cm in height and 27 cm in diameter, this jar likely served as a decorative storage container.
