This striking red lacquer ginger jar features an elegant baluster silhouette, characterized by a high-shouldered body that gently tapers toward a sturdy base. The deep, lustrous red finish serves as a dramatic canvas for the intricate Maki-e style decorations, rendered in varying shades of gold and subtle touches of crimson. The primary scene depicts two vibrant pheasants perched amidst a lush landscape of flowering peonies, spindly bamboo, and weathered pine branches—symbols traditionally associated with longevity and prosperity.

The jar is topped with a matching flat-domed lid, which is uniquely adorned with a stylized gold dragon motif and a functional metal ring pull. The interior reveals the organic texture of the base material, likely wood, suggesting a handcrafted origin. Throughout the piece, the contrast between the dark, reflective lacquer and the warm, metallic gold leaf creates a sense of classic Oriental opulence, making it as much a work of decorative art as it is a functional vessel.
