Autumn Ginger Jars

18" Floral Ginger Jar in Brown & White

 

Brown and white ginger jars are perfect for fall. You can use them as ginger jars or as vases filled with mums, dried hydrangeas, or branches with autumn leaves. A very elegant take on autumn chinoiserie.

The Ginger Jar

Legend Accents Double Happiness Floral Ginger Jar

 

This double happiness floral ginger jar is such a classic. This design was actually my very first ginger jar many many years ago. It is still one of my favorites.

More Blue & White Ginger Jars & Lidded Jars

Legend Accents Ancient People Lidded Jar

I have found more gorgeous blue and white ginger jars and lidded jars. Treat yourself to one of these for Valentine's Day and fill it with red roses. There is nothing prettier than the combination of blue and white Chinese porcelain and red roses.

Here is wonderful inspiration for packing a whole lot of blue and white chinoiserie into a tiny bathroom. This bath has a Nantucket vibe as well with its blue and white stripes. I love the classic backdrop of black and white tiles.

Last week I posted on a lovely Rose Medallion garden stool that we bought out. I have now found the same design in an impressive Rose Medallion Ginger Jar.

Pastel Ginger Jars

Charlotte Moss

 

As you know, ginger jars are typically found in one color like blue on a white base. This picture of the entryway in Charlotte Moss' NYC East 70s townhouse is from New York Social Diary in 2006. I have always admired the grand ginger jars in floral pastels. Multicolor ginger jars like these are quite unique.

These were actually sold at auction by Doyle New York in 2013 when she had a sale of over 400 pieces from her homes in Manhattan, Aspen, and East Hampton.

Decorating with Palm Fronds

Bunny Williams

If you are fortunate to have palm trees in your garden as I do, you will save a fortune not buying fresh flowers at the grocery store. They also look wonderful and last forever - cut fronds last weeks to months!

Christmas Chinoiserie Chic DIY

Caspari

 

I am not the biggest DIY person. When I do a DIY, I want it to be fast, easy, and with guaranteed success. Both of these projects basically involve a can of spray paint.

Velvet Loafers

Jack Rogers

I have posted before about how much I love Jack Rogers sandals, favorites of style icons like Jackie Kennedy. I am also a huge fan of their beautiful velvet loafers that can be worn indoors as velvet smoking slippers or out. I use mine for both and especially love my blue velvet ginger jar loafers.

The Chinoiserie Bedroom

Ashley Hanley - Southern Home

 

Such a stunning space featuring Schumacher's Madame de Pompadour wallpaper, wicker, and a blue and white ginger jar. This is the master bedroom of a home on the James River in Williamsburg, Virginia.

Chinoiserie Chic Fashion Finds

Palm Beach Enamel Bangles

 

I am always on the lookout for unique pieces for my wardrobe and especially love ones with chinoiserie style. Here are some chic new finds.

Coral Chinoiserie

Coral Chinese Porcelain

Chinese porcelain in tones of coral, orange, and Chinese red are a gorgeous alternative to blue and white Chinese porcelain. I love this look for a beach house or summer house and it's so pretty paired with conch shells with their beautiful soft coral interiors. It looks stunning mixed with blue and white Chinese porcelain.

Blue and White Chinoiserie Wardrobe Style

Jack Rogers

 

I love adding a bit of blue and white chinoiserie style to my wardrobe. Jack Rogers is having a Flash Sale with 30% off. This is a great chance to grab their fabulous ginger jar sandals. The code is FLASH30. They are available in two styles - the classic Jack and the Comfort Sandal with a molded footbed and rubber soles to ensure all day comfort. These are favorites in my wardrobe.

Chinoiserie Chic Christmas Gifts

CCC

 

Starting today I will be sharing with you some lovely Christmas gifts for the chinoiserie lover in your life. These first two are fantastic. In each of these stunning boxes is a 500 piece ginger jar jigsaw puzzle. As you can see, I bought them for myself. Jigsaw puzzles are having a big resurgence - and they don't involve technology or apps. Jigsaw puzzles are fun by yourself or with friends and family and are great for your brain - for memory, logic, visual reasoning, and spacial awareness. They exercise the left and right sides of your brain at the same time. These are so beautiful and so unique. BTW the assembled size is 15.75" by 25.5."

Modern Ginger Jars

Mimosa Lane

A wonderful way to freshen a collection of blue and white Chinese porcelain is by adding a blue and white ginger jar in an unexpected and modern design. I have rounded up some fabulous choices.

Smart Shopping

Koi Ginger Jar

 

You may recall my posting recently on this blue and white koi ginger jar I found at Amazon. I love it for my Florida home because it's so tropical chinoiserie. It's $83.58 with free shipping. It is 9.4" wide by 18.9" tall and weighs 7.5 pounds.

The Skirted Table

John Rosselli & Associates - NYC

This showroom is so pretty - a stunning combination of pink with blue and white Chinese porcelain and tropical foliage. I love a beautiful skirted table and the styling here is so well done. Note the use of a large blue and white ginger jar as a vase like I mentioned in yesterday's post. 

A great skirted table is a wonderful addition to your home - in an entryway, a living room, or a bedroom, especially styled with coffee table books and blue and white Chinese porcelain.
