As a young girl I could never figure out my mother's passion for decorating with blue and white Ginger Jars. I often asked her " how many jars can one person have"? As an adult, I totally understand that passion.While my collection is not as elaborate or expansive as my mom's, I have a collection, non the less. When decorating with ginger jars,weather you are trying to achieve a sleek sophisticated modern design a traditional look or a coastal feel, you will find that this Asian artifact is a very adaptable and a multifunctional accessory, that will help you achieve just about any look. The modern day Ginger Jars can be found in a vast aray of color, metal or texture.Decorators and designers use the ginger jar in many capacities.There are a few pieces I believe a well designed home should have.(1) A piece of sea life (2) A traditional Asian Ginger Jar. (3) A piece of vintage furniture. Here are some beautiful examples of the traditional jar used in coastal decor as well as some of our modern day versions.
