Design & Motifs: The jar features raised enamels (also known as "moriage") and a dark cobalt blue ground with lotus leaves, butterflies, and goldfish, all of which are auspicious symbols in Chinese art. Style: This design is more characteristic of 20th-century Chinese export porcelain, especially from the Republic period (1912–1949) or even later in the mid- to late 20th century. Seal Mark: As discussed earlier, the red square seal is in the style of a Qianlong reign mark, but these were often used decoratively in later reproductions. Conclusion: This piece is very likely a decorative 20th-century Chinese ginger jar, imitating Qing dynasty styles. It may not be an original Qianlong period piece but rather a well-made reproduction or decorative object. These types of jars are still collectible and valued, especially if hand-painted and in good condition. If you'd like a more precise appraisal or value estimate, consider consulting an antique dealer or auction house specializing in Asian art, ideally with the piece in hand.
