Once in the West, not used using them that way what else can you do with them but put your flowers in ? "We" have the Cologne type of storage pots btw, used with a cloth and stone to preserve salted vegetables etc.. My granny did.<br />Thanks for the compliments and stopping by.Gerriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01985746967465520617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8706607912742642133.post-1479137937846172762010-10-20T23:23:46.470+02:002010-10-20T23:23:46.470+02:00It's interesting that as props in paintings, t...It's interesting that as props in paintings, the ginger jars are all open jars, but Haji baba is right that they were often made with lids. Mine - 100 years old? - has a broken and repaired lid, and also a carved wooden stand - so definitely made as a decorative not utilitarian object. Thanks for such a fascinating (and continuing) visual theme.Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18020242863144175965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8706607912742642133.post-77178486339754646182010-10-12T20:38:10.478+02:002010-10-12T20:38:10.478+02:00Charles, I would love to know which print you mean...Charles, I would love to know which print you mean.

In fact, it came up on ebay about a year ago.<br /><br />I remember buying a very plain one in the seventies when they were out of fashion. Alot of them here are repro or modern. I assume some of them had lids. The green one you have here is - well, I want it.Haji babahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10619515066447546979noreply@blogger.com
