Two pink diaper ground band can be seen on the neck and base. Baluster jars like this are also known as "General Jar", as the shape of the lid resembles a general's helmet. It could also possibly be referred to the most initial function of such jars being an urn for soldiers who died in battle. The form of the jar conveyed an upright military stance impression, and was extremely versatile in accommodating different styles of decorations, making it a highly desirable household decorative piece during the 17th century. By the 20th century, General Jars were mass produced and commonly included in bridal dowry. 一对中国粉彩罐。罐身在黑地上饰有多个刻纹，描绘了鸟类和牡丹。颈部。像这样的罐也被称为 "将军罐"，因为盖子的形状像将军的头盔。也有可能是因为这种罐子最初的功能是用来装 战死士兵的骨灰盒。这种罐子的造型给人一种挺拔的军人姿态印象，而且用途非常广泛，可用于不同风格的装饰， 因此在 17 世纪是一种非常受欢迎的家居装饰品。到了 20 世纪，将军罐开始大量生产，并普遍成为新娘的嫁妆。 Size: 440mm x 300mm; Weight: 8kg
