1950s Vintage Mauve Ceramic Ginger Jar Vase – Glossy Glaze, 13” Tall

Add a romantic, rosy glow to any space with this gorgeous vintage ginger jar-shaped vase in a luminous mauve glaze. Standing 13 inches high with a generous rounded body and flared rim, this statement piece blends mid-century simplicity with timeless cottage charm. Its rich pink finish, subtly marbled with natural firing variations, reflects light beautifully—perfect for anchoring a floral arrangement or standing solo as a shelf centerpiece.

With its pleasing proportions and nostalgic color, this vase brings both softness and sculptural elegance to your decor. Ideal for fans of vintage ceramics, pink palettes, and warm, curated interiors.

This piece likely dates to the 1950s–1960s, when monochrome glazed ceramics became popular for both American and European homewares. The ginger jar shape takes inspiration from traditional Chinese porcelain, reinterpreted during the mid-century boom in decorative arts. The muted mauve glaze was especially favored in the postwar era, when interior design began to embrace pastels and earth tones as an antidote to wartime austerity.

This vase’s glaze pooling and base ring wear suggest authentic age and kiln-fired craftsmanship—no modern factory uniformity here. Whether you fill it with peonies or leave it empty, it’s a timeless beauty.
