The porcelain body, the color and application of the famille rose enamels, the hand-painted details, and the wear on the unglazed foot rim are all consistent with production during the late Qing to early Republic period. There are no obvious signs of modern reproduction. The unglazed rim is also typical for ginger jars of this age. 瓷器胎釉特征、粉彩发色、手绘细节以及圈足磨损痕迹均与晚清至民国时期的制作工艺和老化特征相符,表明其为真品。未上釉的罐口也符合该时期姜罐的特点。
